English Premier League top side Arsenal are set to announce the signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. According to reports, the player is set to have a medical before completing a switch to Arsenal.
It is also said that all the relevant documents in relation to the Spain international’s switch to the Emirates have been signed. The transfer is subject to a successful medical that Arsenal are in the process of organising. Because the paperwork for Zubimendi’s switch has been completed all parties are relaxed about the scheduling of the medical, but there is a will to wrap up the formalities of the deal swiftly.
Once the 26-year-old passes the medical, Arsenal will be in a position to announce Zubimendi’s signing. Zubimendi has a reported £51m release clause, with all payment structures between Sociedad and Arsenal already agreed.
In addition to Zubimendi’s imminent arrival, they also want to sign a new centre-forward, with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres on their list. Talks over new contracts for Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Gabriel, Leandro Trossard, Thomas Partey, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri are also ongoing.
