Arsenal are set to join the race for Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi, while Real Madrid are looking at a trio of Sporting CP players to ad their defensive injury crisis. Join us for the latest transfer news,

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta leveraged his legacy at Real Sociedad to sign Mikel Merino last year and it seems like business between the two clubs may not have come to an end just yet. The Independent has reported that Arsenal are ‘targeting’ a swoop for La Real star Martin Zubimendi as well next year.

Arsenal are interested in signing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi next summer, according to the Independent. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta wants a deep-lying midfielder, and the Spain star has proven himself after impressing at the 2024 European Championship.

Martin Zubimendi has responded to fresh reports linking him with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal being the most recent side rumoured to be interested in the Real Sociedad and Spain midfielder.

Martin Zubimendi has sought to brush off transfer speculation linking him with Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window. Zubimendi was the subject of plenty of speculation in the summer and looked set to join Liverpool when they agreed to meet the Real Sociedad midfielder’s £51m release clause.

Arsenal will be determined to return to winning ways after the international break. The Gunners, who are currently three games without a victory, will face Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium next week as both sides look to climb the Premier League table.
