Arsenal have officially completed the signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi in a deal worth £60 million, bringing an end to months of speculation surrounding one of Europe’s most sought-after talents.
The 26-year-old Spain international has penned a five-year contract at the Emirates Stadium, keeping him in north London until 2030, and will wear the number 36 shirt for the Gunners.
Zubimendi’s arrival represents a significant coup for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who had identified the midfielder as a key target since the beginning of the year. The deal, which was first agreed in principle back in May, has finally been completed after weeks of negotiations between all parties.
With Zubimendi now officially an Arsenal player, attention will turn to other areas of the squad that may need strengthening. The club remains active in the transfer market as they look to build on this significant signing and prepare for the challenges ahead.
