Mikel Arteta’s top goal is now clear that he wants to move to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
The email first reported that Arsenal participated in senior talks at Zubimendi in the winter, and the real social stars will come in to fill the gap left by Thomas Partey and Jorginho, who will leave the emirate at the end of the season when their contract expires.

According to other reports since, Arsenal still hopes to reach an agreement with Zubimendi before the start of this summer window, which is slowly approaching nine games with nine remaining in the Premier League.
But while new Gunners sports director Andrea Berta is said to be determined to seal Zubimendi’s signature, despite rumors of negotiations that are still underway in the past few months, this is not yet completed for the 26-year-old.
According to reliable journalist Ben Jacobs, Arsenal has verbally reached broad agreement with Zubimendi, but there is still a chance to pour into another club, undermining Arteta’s chance to land him, and he could even decide to stay in society like he did last summer.
Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool and Real Madrid all praised the interest of the Spaniards, as Arteta faces fierce competition from many elite teams, as a result.
One of their signature rivals, Real Madrid, is now starting to pose a serious threat to Arsenal.
Real Madrid makes ‘fresh’ Martin Zubimendi move ‘turns’ Arsenal
This is according to journalist Graeme Bailey and Boot Room, who report that Carlo Ancelotti is intensifying negotiations with player representatives in an attempt to hijack the North Londoner.
According to TBR and Bailey, Real Madrid has made it clear to Zubimendi that they hope he will “become rock” Arsenal with a “fresh” move this summer at Bernabeu.
Their serious presence in Zubimendi’s game is indeed a concern for Arteta, and they are believed to be fully aware of the threat they posed. That’s also a key reason why they tried to sign him last summer, but now it looks like Arsenal will have to beat the competition from Europe’s most attractive club.
Zubimendi’s contract contains a £50 million release clause, and Arsenal is ready to trigger it (Fabrizio Romano), but the main difficulty of such a transfer is to convince Zubimendi to exchange Spain for England.
