Arsenal transfer news: Martin Zubimendi sends fresh message about Real Sociedad future | OneFootball

eal Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi says he had no intention to leave during the season.

Arsenal are known to admire the 24-year-old Spanish international and were linked with a move for him during the January transfer window, along with Barcelona.

Mikel Arteta eventually brought in Jorginho from Chelsea but Zubimendi continues to be linked with a move away from his boyhood club heading into the summer window.

While the midfielder signed a new contract running until 2027 and containing a release clause of £52.7m back in October, it is thought he will assess his options at the end of the season.

“Rumours, rumours, because I told my agent that I didn’t want to hear anything, especially in winter,” he told Sport.

“Leaving Real Sociedad aside with the season we are having would be illogical. I am very happy here.

Despite the arrival of Jorginho, Arsenal are believed to be interested in strengthening their midfield further this summer.
