Arsenal have announced the signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi for £51million to mark their first significant outlay of the summer transfer window.
Zubimendi, 26, has signed a five-year deal with the Gunners, who were able to beat Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester City to his signature.
The Spanish international has long been courted by Mikel Arteta's side, who have now finally managed to land one of their key targets.
Arsenal confirmed the signing of Zubimendi in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday afternoon, adding that he will wear the number 36 shirt.
