Martin Zubimendi looks an important signing for Arsenal
Zubimendi’s playing style makes him an ideal replacement for the departing Jorginho at Arsenal, with the veteran Italian midfielder recently leaving for Flamengo.
There’s also the issue of Thomas Partey, who is out of contract this summer, with Fabrizio Romano reporting yesterday that talks over a new deal were not progressing.
See below as Romano posted on X: “Negotiations between Arsenal and Thomas Partey over new deal are not advancing. No agreement so far and now concrete chances to part ways in the upcoming days. Thomas would be available as free agent.”
