The dust settles: Martin Zubimendi is about to join Arsenal

Arsenal introduced Real Sociedad midfielder Zubimendi for a long time, and now it can basically be said that the dust has been settled. This is a "peace of mind" for gun fans, and Arteta's team building plan is the most important piece of puzzle.

Let's analyze why Arteta insists on buying Zubimendi? Because he is the "midfield brain" that Arsenal needs most in the current tactical system. He is a typical Spanish-style midfielder, with a sense of position, rhythm control, and the first shot from defense to offense, all of which are excellent. His arrival can greatly liberate Odegao in the frontcourt, allowing him to focus more on offense. With Zubi Jiandi "escort" behind the scenes, the entire Arsenal's midfield operation will become more stable and layered.

As for why the transaction was completed, it will not be officially announced until July. This is actually a very common operation between modern football clubs. It is mainly due to the consideration of the financial accounting cycle of the opponent's club, and it is not that there is any problem with the transaction itself. Now, Arsenal has finalized the key position of the midfield step by step, and can devote all his energy and budget to the introduction of a top center and winger.
