Arsenal ‘Agree Deal’ to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad

Arsenal has “agreed a deal” to sign the real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi for the summer transfer window.

Since last summer, the Gunners have monitored Zubimendi, 26, after a series of impressive displays with Sociedad and have defeated Real Madrid in his signature.

And according to Transfer Insider Fabrizio Romano, the Noord -Londers have finally agreed to comply with the release clause of the midfielder with a value of no less than £ 50 million.

Mikel Arteta’s side will now have to take “formal steps” to get the expensive asking price from the player.

The Spain International has also reached a verbal agreement with the Premier League Giants.

Zubimendi will now sign a “long -term” deal and become Arsenal’s first signing of the summer.

However, some fans are not too enthusiastic about the arrival of the defensive midfielder at the Emirates.

That’s because Arsenal supporters have been shouting for an Elite Center-Forward in the past two years.

In fact, many fans and experts have insisted that this is the last part of the puzzle that will eventually lead them to their first Premier League title in 21 years.

And many have blamed the lack of a quality stitcher as the reason why the side of Arteta is likely to finish second for the third season in a row.

A fan tweeted: “Another midfielder. They recognize that they went without a rush hour trophies? Lmao.”

Another comment: “Striker ???”

A third wrote: “misplaced priorities. Arsenal needs a good number, not a midfielder.”

This fan said: “Everyone: Arsenal still needs a CF – Arteta: give me my 5th dm.”

And he stated: “A striker should be the next goal please!”

Nevertheless, many Arsenal fans also understand the meaning of this signing as Zubimendi is one of the most appreciated midfielders in the world.

Moreover, the future of Thomas Partey is uncertain with his contract that runs out in June.

And Arsenal was interested in Real to attract the world -famous prospect, which occurs as a large coup.
