On July 6 – Arsenal officially announced the signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi.
It is reported that the transfer fee for the Spanish international exceeds £65 million, marking a significant summer investment for the Gunners.
Zubimendi, 24, was a key figure for Real Sociedad last season, making 44 appearances in all competitions (41 starts). The combative midfielder, known for his defensive solidity and passing range, has been a mainstay in the Basque side's midfield since breaking into the first team in 2021.
Arsenal's move for Zubimendi comes after months of speculation, with the north London club fending off competition from La Liga and Premier League rivals. The transfer fee, if confirmed above £65 million, would set a new club record for a defensive midfielder, surpassing the £50 million spent on Thomas Partey in 2020.
The Spain international is expected to bolster Mikel Arteta's midfield options, providing cover and competition for Declan Rice and Kai Havertz. Zubimendi's contract with Arsenal is reportedly set to run until 2030, with the club holding an option for a further year.

exactly, you should take your own advice, because you're in the glass house now,with all those stones you were throwing now you're left out in the cold, fact is liverpool is officially the most successful club in England, and we now got 2 in the last 5yrs,so who you think the fool is????
you really don't get me, I'm not calling you a fool, I don't throw insults unnecessarily. what I'm saying is you've also been here before so you should not resort to this

welcome to England... Second Signing of the market for arsenal... Arsenal need Viktor Gyokeres to be complete as a qualify team since to the left wing they have Gabriel Matenilli and Kai Havertz, Rodrigo can stay no problem

Zubinendi is 6 years younger than Partey. He score more goals than Partey. He's less injury prone compare to Partey. Partey can get lost most times in games needed and do lose balls in the midfield. If Madrid goes for before opted for Arsenal, then he's a good player.

leave the story of unbeaten, let me tell you something, if the league starts with 38games a season you draw all the game is an unbeaten so you'll have an awareness of maybe 60point but not 100 points that only city has made and barça has made. so till now the 100points record still higher than...
