Martin Zubimendi delivered a commanding midfield performance capped with two goals as Arsenal defeated Nottingham Forest yesterday.
Signed to bring stability to Arsenal’s midfield after the club were unable to reach an agreement with Thomas Partey, Zubimendi has quickly established himself as a pivotal figure. His arrival also reunited him with former partner Mikel Merino, and together they have added a new dimension to the Gunners’ central play.
A Growing Influence in Midfield
Since his debut, Zubimendi has impressed with his ability to dictate tempo, recycle possession and provide composure in the heart of the pitch. Each game appears to highlight further growth in his influence, and he has already strengthened Arsenal’s structure significantly. Supporters at the Emirates will feel fortunate to have such a technically astute and consistent performer at the core of their team.
While his qualities as a controlling midfielder are well known, the Spaniard demonstrated another facet of his game against Forest by scoring twice. It was a rare achievement for him, but it underlined the versatility and confidence with which he is currently playing. His ability to contribute not only defensively and in build-up play, but also with goals, makes him an even more complete presence in midfield.
Arteta’s Praise for Zubimendi
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his delight at the midfielder’s performance and wider impact since joining the club. As told to Arsenal Media, he said:
“He was unbelievable, the two goals are very difficult to score. Martin is bringing such a presence, composure and understanding of the game that makes the team flow and play better. And on top of that, he’s adding goals and assists, so that’s the trajectory that we have to maintain with him.”
Arteta’s comments reflect not only satisfaction with Zubimendi’s goals but also recognition of his broader contribution to the squad. The combination of presence, composure and intelligence has been instrumental in Arsenal’s early-season form, and the addition of goals further elevates his importance.
Zubimendi’s display against Forest revealed qualities few had associated with him, showing that he is not limited to control and distribution alone. Most importantly, he continues to excel in his primary duties, providing Arsenal with the balance and consistency they had been searching for. His development suggests that his influence will only continue to grow as the campaign progresses.
