Zubimendi Set for Medical Before Arsenal
Move

London, 28 May (ONA) — Real
Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi is set to have a medical before completing
a switch to Arsenal.

Well-placed sources have confirmed that
all the relevant documents in relation to the Spain international’s switch to
the Emirates have been signed, with the deal entering its closing stages, BBC sport
reported.

The transfer is subject to a
successful medical that Arsenal are in the process of organising.

Because the paperwork for
Zubimendi’s switch has been completed, all parties are relaxed about the
scheduling of the medical, but there is a will to wrap up the formalities of
the deal swiftly.

Once the 26-year-old passes the
medical, Arsenal will be in a position to announce Zubimendi’s signing.

Zubimendi has a reported £51m
release clause, with all payment structures between Sociedad and Arsenal
already agreed.

Arsenal have been long-term admirers
of Zubimendi and have been working on a deal to sign him for a number of
months.

In addition to Zubimendi’s imminent
arrival, the Gunners want to sign a new centre-forward, with Benjamin Sesko and
Viktor Gyokeres among their preferred targets.

Talks over new contracts for Bukayo
Saka, William Saliba, Gabriel, Leandro Trossard, Thomas Partey, Myles
Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri are also ongoing.
