Real Sociedad's president has revealed that midfielder Martin Zubimendi's future will be decided in June amid intense interest from Arsenal.
The 26-year-old came close to joining Liverpool last summer before changing his mind at the last-minute and has a release clause of £51million.
The Spanish international has been courted by Mikel Arteta for over 12 months, although Real Madrid have also reportedly shown interest.
Arsenal are in the market for a new central midfield player with Jorginho and Thomas Partey both running out of contract at the end of the season.
