Arsenal “ends” £51million monster for “world-class” deal

All hope and enthusiasm are now almost gone before Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League semi-final.

The failure to the French champion condemned the Mikel Arteta’s side, a disappointing ending that promised so much in August.

That being said, while there are many players who stagnate or take a step back this year, some don’t, like Declan Rice.

The Brit has become even more important to the club this season and he may get better next year as recent reports tie Arsenal to a teammate who is a dream.

Arsenal’s midfield search

So before we get in touch with the players in question, it is worth mentioning that in recent months, some other midfielders have been associated with Frenkie de Jong and Kevin de Bruyne, among others.

The former’s contract negotiations with Barcelona are reportedly not going well yet, so the Gunners may have a chance to turn the Dutch head, which is certainly worth a try given his leadership and his ability to do well in the eight and six games.

Now, there is no doubt that signing the latter would be surprising, but the Belgian has a connection with the North Londoner as it was announced that he would leave the city at the end of the season and he was still a very good short-term option when he was in a larger form as he played 14 goals alone in 36 games this season.

But to get rid of rice next season, the club may need someone to play like Martin Zubimendi.

The Spanish international is still very important, and Miguel Delaney, currently, has revealed in a recent report that signing his deal is “wrapped up.”

Reports earlier this year showed that the release clause of the impressive midfielder was worth about £51 million and would almost certainly have to be paid in advance.

It’s not a cheap deal, but given Zubimendi’s ability and experience, it’s worth doing, especially since he can help the rice get better.

Why Zubimendi makes rice better

When Arsenal signed rice for a £105 million club record in the summer of 2023, fans and experts said he would come in and be the club’s sixth place in the foreseeable future.

After all, he played most of his time at West Ham United and was doing well there.

But despite his many appearances in this position since moving to the UAE, his role has evolved and now, when everyone is healthy, he plays the left eight.

This new position has made the British more impact in the offensive stage, with eight goals and ten assists this season alone, arguably a change far exceeding.

So why would Zubimendi help him reach another level?

Well, simply put, while what former teammate Kieran Tierney calls “world-class” Espanyol can also play two roles, he specializes in the midfield base and given his age and relatively clean injury record, he will be able to take over the role completely on the team.

This in turn will make former Captain Hammers more offensive next year and adds the number of explosive, lung-damaging running fanatics that have become accustomed to in recent years.

Additionally, the presence of the real Sociedad star there should provide more assurance for the Gunners’ No. 41 as his base defensive figures are impressive.

For example, according to FBREF, he is in the top 6% of midfielders in the top five leagues in Europe, shooting percentage and clearing, which is the top 7% won by the air opponents, finishing the top 7% in the flight finals, and the percentage of dribbling in the 900,000,000 matches is the top 14% of the challenge, winning the top 14%.

Most importantly, he has experienced a lot of experience, with 232 appearances for Los Angeles Royals and 15 appearances in Spain, beating England in last year’s European Championship final.

Ultimately, while it’s not the most exciting signing, Zubimandi looks like he will be able to insert perfectly and praise the Arsenal team and help Michelle to be even more impossible.
