Arsenal have announced the signing of Spanish international midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
At 26 years of age he made 236 senior appearances for the Spanish outfit upon his graduation from their academy and links up with Mikel Merino at club level once again, having won the Copa del Rey in 2019/20.
Taking on the number 36 jersey with The Gunners, the European Championship winner spoke with his new club’s media about his move to the London outfit,
“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.”
“It’s a young, highly motivated and ambitious team. They have shown their potential recently, and I believe the best is yet to come. As soon as you set foot here, you realise how big this club and this team are. Andrea [Berta] and Mikel [Arteta] took excellent care of me, leaving me with no doubts whatsoever.
“This is a huge moment in my career. It's the move I was looking for; one I wanted to make. Of course, it's a big change, but I'm ready to get started.”
