Arsenal are now heavily linked with Martin Zubimendi. They are said to have taken lead in the pursuit of Spaniard who was also looked upon by Liverpool. Zubimendi has spoken about his move to Premier League giants in his recent interview.
Martin Zubimendi was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer. The Reds were keen to sign the player but the deal never materialized. It was said that 25 year old was unwilling to leave Spain.
The Reds then started the season on a high note and are doing really well. They are on top of the table in Premier League. Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones are doing really well under Arne Slot and hence it seems like they may not enter the market again for Zubimendi.
This came as a boost for Gunners who are now keen to sign the Spaniard. They have already signed Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad this summer and hence will plan to repeat this with Zubimendi. The player has now opened about the rumours and told his future plans.
Martin Zubimendi about the transfer links with Arsenal
Zubimendi has responded to the rumours in a very good way. He has cleared the whole situation and has also dropped some hints about his future.
“There will always be rumours, especially now that January is approaching, but I don’t waste energy on outside noise. I’m happy with the way I’m handling it, and I’m going to stay focused” – Zubimendi while speaking to Estadio Deportivo.
By the player’s response it seems like he is happy and focused on his current team. A January move looks unlikely at the moment but there are high chances for summer move. Real Sociedad are on the 8th position in La Liga and hence may miss European football next year.
Gunners may wait until summer to sign Zubimendi or can look for other options in January itself. They will look to replace Partey and Jorginho who are set to leave as free agents after this season.
