Arsenal are plotting a summer move for 21 year old midfield maestro. The player is current impressing in La Liga with Barcelona. The Spanish giants are expected to make it verg hard for Gunners to land him this summer.
Gunners are set for a major summer window where many new faces are expected to join them. They have attacking reinforcements as the top priority of the club. But, the midfield also needs an urgent attention as both Thomas Partey and Jorginho are set to depart as free agents.
Mikel Arteta has Martin Zubimendi as top priority for midfield. Gunners tried to sign him last summer itself but the deal was unable to advance. The player wanted to stay at Spain and hence rejected offer to join Gunners.
This has now changed Zubimendi is set to move away from Spain. But, it will require Gunners to pay his €60 million release clause fully. In addition, there is also interest from other clubs and hence Gunners are keeping eye on other options.
