Arsenal could reportedly attempt to hijack Liverpool’s deal to sign Real Sociedad ace Martin Zubimendi this summer, as per the journalist David Lynch.
The Gunners are seemingly prioritising strengthening their engine room in this transfer window as they have been linked with a plethora of names over the last few weeks.
Douglas Luiz, Amadou Onana and Bruno Guimaraes were all suggested as potential targets earlier this window. But, while the Brazilian has joined Juventus, the Belgian has opted to move to Aston Villa.
Along With them, Zubimendi was also mentioned as a key target but it looked like Arsenal decided to cool their interest in him and shifted their focus on the Spaniard’s colleague Mikel Merino to bolster the engine room.
Mikel Arteta’s side have already agreed on personal terms with him and are currently in talks with Real Sociedad to lure him to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
