Martin Zubimendi 'touches down in London' ahead of £51m Arsenal move as Mikel Arteta closes in on his first summer signing

Martin Zubimendi has reportedly touched down in London as he edges closer to sealing a summer switch to Arsenal.

According to The Athletic, the Real Sociedad midfielder is on the verge of completing his move to the Emirates, with the player set to meet club officials and finalise the remaining formalities.

Arsenal have been long-time admirers of the Spain international, who has a £51million release clause in his contract, and Mail Sport revealed earlier this season that the Gunners had moved ahead of their rivals in the race for his signature.

Zubimendi is now poised to become Mikel Arteta’s first signing of the summer as the Arsenal boss looks to strengthen his midfield ahead of the new campaign.
