Arsenal have officially completed the signing of Spanish midfield maestro Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad for £60 million, sealing a long-anticipated deal that brings tactical depth and composure to Mikel Arteta’s squad.

The 26-year-old, who made 236 appearances for Sociedad with 10 goals and 9 assists, penned a contract that ties him to the Gunners until 2030.

🗣️ Zubimendi Speaks: “I set my sights on Arsenal…”

Speaking after the move, Zubimendi explained his decision with clarity and excitement:

“Once I made the decision to leave, I set my sights on Arsenal because I think their style of play is a good fit for me.”

“This is a youthful, highly motivated, and ambitious team — and I believe the best of Mikel Arteta’s side is yet to come.”

The midfielder also emphasized his readiness to contribute to Arsenal’s long-awaited return to Premier League dominance, saying:

“I will give my all to help restore this great club to glory.”

🔍 What Zubimendi Brings to Arsenal:

Elite ball retention & press resistance
Positionally intelligent & tactically disciplined
A perfect fit for Arteta’s possession-heavy, high-tempo system
Offers a long-term replacement or complement to players like Jorginho and Thomas Partey

💬 Opinion: Arsenal Just Got Sharper, Smarter — and Scarier

Zubimendi isn’t the flashiest name on the transfer market, but he might be one of the most crucial signings Arsenal could’ve made. Arteta's system demands intelligence, patience, and timing — and Zubimendi has those in abundance.

This move signals Arsenal’s intent to compete not just now, but sustainably for the next 5+ years. It also highlights Arteta’s growing pull among top Spanish players — a trait that could be pivotal in the years ahead.

With Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, and now Zubimendi, Arsenal’s midfield core looks incredibly well-balanced and mature — and may just be what finally unlocks silverware again.
