Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay has played down speculation surrounding Martin Zubimendi's pending move to Arsenal.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for Zubimendi, who has a reported release clause of £51million, in recent months, and reports earlier this week claimed the midfielder was set for a medical.
All payment structures regarding a deal for the 26-year-old are said to have been agreed and Zubimendi is expected to become Mikel Arteta's first signing of the summer.
However, Sociedad chief Aperribay has now addressed the situation publicly and appeared to cast doubt on Zubimendi's move to the Emirates.
