Arsenal appear to have won the race for one of their biggest long-term transfer targets, as it is reported that his current club have already found his replacement after learning that the player has been ‘selected’ by the Gunners.
While it is perhaps Arsenal’s biggest priority to sign a number nine who can provide them with a constant source of goals, Mikel Arteta also wanted a successor to Thomas Partey in midfield.
Arsenal made a record transfer of Declan Rice this summer, but the more than 200 million euros spent on transfers in January made it difficult to add more players as the club is on the verge of the financial constraints of fair play.
Spanish newspaper todofichajes claimed via El Nacional that Arsenal will beat Barcelona, Aston Villa and Atheltic Bilbao to sign Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi, with a transfer more likely in the summer, although the Gunners did try to sign him this winter.
