Arsenal is on the verge of completing their midfield overhaul with the acquisition of Martin Zubimendi, a highly regarded defensive midfielder from Real Sociedad for £51 million. The 26-year-old Spaniard is expected to fill the role previously held by Thomas Partey, combining with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. Known for his exceptional passing and ball retention skills, Zubimendi excels in linking play and providing a solid foundation for the team, enhancing both build-up play and defensive efforts without being primarily a goal scorer.
Zubimendi has become a highly valued player for his ability to connect the play without the ball and knows when to push forward.
He generally chooses well the one pass to do, and he hardly ever loses the ball, which aids in team fluidity and confidence.
