Unexpected: Arsenal close to signing Martín Zubimendi

Premier League clubs have long been tracking Real Sociedad's key midfielder Martín Zubimendi, and this summer, he is set to move to England.

Details: According to Sami Mokbel, Arsenal has informed Real Sociedad that they are prepared to activate Zubimendi’s €60 million release clause.

Arsenal is currently in talks with the 25-year-old central midfielder to finalize the key details of his contract.

However, it has been confirmed that Zubimendi will only join Arsenal after the end of the season.

Previously, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid were also linked with interest in Zubimendi.

Reminder: Earlier today, it was reported that Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is likely to miss significant time due to a suspected ACL tear in his knee.
