Arsenal closing on deal for Real Sociedad midfielder Zubimendi

Premier League giants Arsenal may be closing in on a big money summer signing.

The Gunners' attempts to lure Martin Zubimendi to the Emirates Stadium are proving successful.

Per Sport.fr, there is likely to be a deal in the coming weeks to bring Zubimendi to England.

Arsenal are ready to pay the 51.6 million release clause that is in his Real Sociedad contract.

La Real are not keen to sell, but Zubimendi may believe he can shine in the Premier League.

There have also been links to top clubs in Spain, which would allow him to remain in the country.
