As the Premier League team strengthened a crucial position weakened by departures last month, Arsenal announced on Sunday that it has signed defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad on a long-term contract.
The 26-year-old had a 60 million euro ($70.67 million) release clause at Sociedad, where he had a contract until 2027, according to British media reports, however financial specifics were not made public.
After coming second in the last three Premier League seasons, Mikel Arteta is looking to bolster a team that can win the championship. Zubimendi is Arsenal’s second acquisition in the offseason, following goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
