After months of speculation, Martin Zubimendi is set to become an Arsenal player next season following the Gunners’ agreement to sign the midfielder. The Spanish international has been one of the most sought-after players in Europe in recent seasons, attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world.
Liverpool were reportedly close to signing him last summer, but after he rejected their approach, they did not return with another attempt. That decision has proven crucial, as it opened the door for Arsenal to move in and secure his services. The Gunners, who had already added his midfield partner Mikel Merino to their squad last summer, have now brought the duo back together at the Emirates.
Arsenal Make a Midfield Statement
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Arsenal have received the all-clear to trigger Zubimendi’s release clause and plan to finalise the move as soon as the current campaign ends. While the midfielder remains fully committed to his current club Real Sociedad for now, his next destination has already been decided.
Bringing Zubimendi to the Emirates is viewed as a major coup for the club, with many believing he has the potential to strengthen Arsenal’s midfield immediately. His performances in recent years have made him one of the most consistent and reliable central players in La Liga, and fans of Arsenal will be eager to see what he can offer once the move is completed.
More Reinforcements Needed in Attack
Despite the excitement around Zubimendi’s imminent arrival, Arsenal are aware that further investment will be necessary to compete at the highest level next season. The current squad has struggled with injuries and a lack of consistent goal scoring, especially from the striker position.
With this in mind, the club is expected to prioritise the signing of a top-quality forward once the season concludes. While Zubimendi’s addition will strengthen the midfield, supporters know that a reliable striker is just as vital to achieving success in the coming campaign.
This move signals intent from Arsenal, but the summer window must bring more reinforcements if they are to challenge for major honours again.

This story has legs, I was made to understand a gentleman agreement is in place for sometime now
It seems he is already an arsenal player and it’s good this time round arsenal want to finalize their signings before pre season starts, and when it comes to striker they narrowed their targets to 3 players Sesko,Isak and Gyokeres.
Naftail Langat, it seems you are spot on the money
Now we can get rid of Partey seeing we can’t fully trust him. We now have a solution in Zubimendi plus some other better back up to Partey.
Oga, Zubimendi is Jorginhos replacement. Partey is going nowhere.
Getting rid of Thomas party is one step back , arsenal need experience and players who knows what is expected, Rotation is gonna be needed for unpredictability, plus zubimendi needs time to bed in without pressure
