Arsenal are reportedly working on a deal to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi in the summer transfer window.
The Spain international rejected a move to Liverpool last year to stay in San Sebastian, while Manchester City and Real Madrid were also linked with the player.
The Gunners have been “pursuing” a move for the 25-year-old for a “considerable” time, according to The Athletic, who claim that Mikel Arteta is the main driver behind the signing.
Their pursuit of Zubimendi was “reinvigorated” during the summer when Arsenal completed the transfer of former Sociedad teammate Mikel Merino for £28.4 million.
