Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of securing a major summer signing, with Spanish midfield dynamo Martin Zubimendi set to arrive from Real Sociedad, according to the Daily Mail.

Zubimendi Tipped to Replace Departing Jorginho

With Jorginho bound for Brazilian giants Flamengo after agreeing a pre-contract, Mikel Arteta is eager to reinforce the Gunners’ midfield options. Zubimendi, 25, has long been admired for his composure, passing range, and tactical intelligence — traits that make him a perfect fit for Arsenal’s style of play.

Sources suggest personal terms with the player won’t be a hurdle, making a deal increasingly likely to be completed early in the transfer window.

Thomas Partey’s Future Still Uncertain

While Zubimendi is expected to slot straight into the squad, uncertainty looms over the future of Thomas Partey. Talks over a contract extension are ongoing, but no breakthrough has been reached. Should the Ghanaian opt to leave, Arsenal may be forced to dip into the market again for additional midfield depth ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Gunners Focused on Strong Premier League Finish

Following a disappointing Champions League semi-final exit to Paris Saint-Germain (3-1 on aggregate), Arteta’s men are now laser-focused on finishing the domestic campaign strongly — and perhaps laying the groundwork for a midfield revamp that could power another title charge.
