Martin Zubimendi

Right that’s more than enough cooing over this signing, time to get back to moaning about signing an England International winger with excellent attributes to provide cover for the wings.

Not sure how many people would be aware of this, but the Basque word for bridge is "Zubi". There's probably a joke here about "mendi" being the Basque word for mending, but I'm not gonna make it. Suffice to say, I'm looking forward to Martin bridging the gap between our defense and attack and helping us to transition up the pitch! 😄

A welcome, if expected, bit of good news after an unpleasant 48 hours. Glad to read Gyokeres inching towards a positive conclusion too.

We took Merino and La Real said "if you'll pay that we've got a bridge we'd like to sell you"?

Nice piece on him

According to sources in Spain, Arsenal made it clear to Sociedad last summer that they wanted to sign two of their midfielders. The north Londoners were keen for Mikel Merino to join immediately and then for Zubimendi to come a year later, in the summer of 2025.

The transfer was finally announced on Sunday but it was effectively completed months ago, prior to the arrival of new sporting director Andrea Berta. When Real attempted to make a move in June, there were therefore no concerns or doubts in north London. The deal was done.

The prospect of working with Arteta was another significant factor in Zubimendi’s decision. Not only are the two men from the same city, but they also both played for the same amateur club, Antiguoko, as kids. Club sources say the two men formed an instant connection.

Zubimendi’s game is based on intelligent movement and thinking one step ahead. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that he is also an impressive chess player. As a boy, he once won the under-12 chess championship in the Spanish province of Gipuzkoa.

Stupid question.. Why is Zubi going with 36?

Asterix

It's the number he wore when he debuted for Real Sociedad.

USArsenal

I guess we'll wait until after preseason to give him a real number. Lol.

flobaba

That’s the number he wants.
