Arsenal continue to be linked with a summer transfer for Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi so football.london have rounded up all the latest rumours on the Spanish international
Arsenal are set for another busy summer transfer window. Mikel Arteta is hoping to add new signings to his squad as the Gunners prepare for a return to the Champions League next term.
Arsenal could still win the Premier League title which could see them attract some of the top talents from across Europe. Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has been heavily linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium this summer, along with West Ham captain Declan Rice.
With that said, football.london takes a look at the latest rumours and reports regarding Zubimendi joining Arsenal.
Martin Zubimendi responds to Arsenal links
Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has dismissed links suggesting he could complete a transfer to Arsenal this summer.
The Spaniard has reiterated his commitment to Sociedad in a recent interview and snubbed rumours linking him with a move to the Premier League. “I have never planned to leave Real Sociedad — I always say that," Zubimendi told Marca.
"I love life here, at home, I’m so happy here. The value of this club are same as mine so I feel very good, I always said that I’m happy.”
Deal ‘close’
Player’s stance
Zubimendi admitted that he wasn’t interested in a move away from Sociedad during the January transfer window. Speaking to Spanish outlet Sport back in March, he said: "Rumours, rumours, because I told my manager that I didn't want to hear anything, especially in winter.
“Leaving Real Sociedad aside with the season we are having would be illogical. Here I am very happy."
