Arsenal are pursuing a deal to sign midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad next summer. The move for the 25-year-old has been worked on for a considerable time and if an agreement is reached will come a year after Liverpool failed in their own bid to sign the Spain international.

Arsenal's reported interest in Martin Zubimendi is gaining steam, but how would Mikel Arteta deploy the UEFA Euro winner?

Arsenal are expected to be busy in the second half of the January transfer window. The Gunners have been strongly linked with a move for Martin Zubimendi, a deal that is reportedly likely to happen in the summer, while Gabriel Jesus’s injury has accelerated plans for a new striker.
