Arsenal’s interest in Martin Zubimendi appears to be intensifying, with reports suggesting that the midfielder could potentially leave his current club this month.
Zubimendi has been on Arsenal’s radar for several months, and it is reported that the Gunners made an approach for him at the beginning of the current season, but he chose to continue playing for Real Sociedad.
However, uncertainties about his future at the Spanish club have arisen, with his representatives now open to exploring new opportunities for him. This development has attracted interest from several clubs, and according to a report on Sport Witness, Arsenal is among them.
Despite Arsenal’s primary need for a new striker, there is also a keen interest in bolstering their midfield, and Zubimendi is reportedly a player they are considering. The report indicates that the midfielder has a release clause set at 60 million euros, and Arsenal may not face significant hurdles in meeting this valuation if they decide to pursue the transfer.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Most of Mikel Arteta’s signings have done well on our books, and we can trust him on Zubimendi if he asks the club to sign his fellow countryman.
However, we will struggle to trigger his release clause this month and probably have to wait until the end of the season to do that.

“Most of Mikel Arteta’s signings have done well on our books, and we can trust him on Zubimendi if he asks the club to sign his fellow countryman.”
What 🤐
But if Arsenal activate Zubimendi’s €60m release clause to sign him this winter endow and succeeded to sign.
But what is now making Zubimendi to change his mind to not continue staying with Real Sociedad this January window? Perhaps his urge and interest to earn more wage earnings is motivating him yo push RSO to up his wages or he leaves? But which of course Arsenal could be paying him if they sign him.
For, according to the transfer reports of last time out. Zubimendi had vehemently refused to join Arsenal last summer when the club approached him to join them. And were willing and ready to activate his release clause.
Nevertheless, as the Cdmfs of Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz and Everton’s Amouduo Onana and now RSO’s Zubimendi are all have been linked with Arsenal for signing one out of the trio this Jan window. And if truly Arteta wants to upgrade his team Cdmf to a new top level. Mainly because of Thomas Partey injury sideline issue.
But who among Douglas Luiz, Amouduo Onana and Martin Zubimendi is the top most top quality Cdmf? And who will best suit his plans and Arsenal project to win the Epl and Ucl titles this season SHOULD be one who Arsenal SHOULD sign this Jan winding in my opinion.
Zubimendi is a rare player in that he is one among the huge and constant number of players rumoured to be joining us , that I BELIEVE, in time, WILL come to us.
Again, I think this would be a very very good addition to our team.
However, if he comes, I worry where Arteta will play him
I think he should replace Havertz, but I am not sure Arteta is ready to give up on Havertz yet.
I do think Havertz could be used as a another forward, with something different to offer over Jesus, Eddie and Trossard.
Still, we have to get Zubimendi first.
