Mikel Arteta still wants to bring £53 million midfielder to Arsenal!

Arsenal are still very much interested in signing Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad this coming January transfer window, or at the end of the current season it has been claimed in the media

Arsenal were looking to add a few more players to the side during the last summer window and were heavily linked with a move for the impressive Zubimendi – who has been very good over in La Liga over the past few seasons

In the end however, ARSENAL FC made the decision to move for a few other players and opted to not splash the £53 million it would have taken to bring Zubimendi to the Premier League.

The north Londoners reportedly made contact with Zubimendi’s entourage over the summer and were reportedly dangerously close to a potential deal for the star according to reports, but they opted to sign Mikel Merino instead.

Their interest in the player has wavered in recent weeks – but according to Reporter Iomie Stanley, Arsenal are still interested in a deal for the Sanish star – he was quoted on icfootballnews: “Midfield is still a high priority, and we know that Arsenal have had a long-standing interest in Martin Zubimendi.

“Mikel Arteta managed to get most of the players that he wanted over the summer transfer window and the squad that the Gunners have should be alot better than being nine points off the League top.

‘There are other areas of the pitch that Arsenal need to work on, but Zubimendi is a player that Arteta would love to sign ahead of Liverpool and Man City.

Zubimendi has been brilliant for Sociedad over the past few seasons and we can easily see why the ARSENAL scouts too such an interest in the man, he really has been impressive.

It is probably the right decision to stay put for now – there is no need to move clubs at this stage of his career. But it will be interesting to see what move he makes next
