In a major blow for Liverpool, Premier League rivals Arsenal have reportedly agreed personal terms with Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi.
Zubimendi was the subject of a summer offer from Liverpoolbut in the end the Spanish international decided against a move to Anfield.
Now he seems closer than ever to a move to the Premier League, but to the Gunners rather than the Reds.
Martin Zubimendi has agreed terms with Arsenal
According to Football transfersThe 25-year-old midfielder agreed personal terms with the Londoners from North London, and the media note that a departure in January is not out of the question.
Having already signed Mikel Merino from La Real, Arsenal can rest assured that the deal process should be much easier for a player who has a clear and obvious attachment to his boyhood club.
Zubimendi’s release clause is set at €60/£52mand it goes without saying that this will not be a problem for the Gunners.
Arsenal have said this surprise signing could TRANSFORM their squad!
Whether it’s this month or the summer when the player decides to make the jump from La Liga to the Premier League, he will add significant bite as well as creativity to Arsenal’s midfield.
The Premier League is waiting for Martin Zubimendi
It is a convincing argument that Mikel Arteta needs a striker as a priority, rather than looking for gold at one of his old clubs, however, if the Arsenal board are willing to support their manager in the transfer market, then the club’s fans need to ‘trust the process’.
Despite the injuries, the team continues to show signs of improvement in terms of putting Arteta’s ideas into practice, and if they can find the kind of consistency that Liverpool have shown during the 2024/25 season, a first Premier League title under the Spaniard should not be too far off.
