The summer transfer window has been active for some time, yet Arsenal has not yet secured their first signing.
After finishing second in the Premier League last season without securing any trophies, Arsenal faced numerous injuries, particularly affecting their forward line.
Multiple sources indicate that Arsenal is looking to bolster their squad, having been linked with several prominent players.
Currently, it seems the Gunners are on the verge of finalizing their first acquisition during this summer transfer period.
Who is the anticipated first signing for Arsenal this summer?
Arsenal is reportedly eager to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. The Gunners have long shown interest in the Spanish player, who has a release clause set at €60 million (£51.7m; $63.4m).
Earlier in the month, it was reported that an agreement had been reached with the La Liga team concerning the potential transfer.
Now, as per The Athletic, Zubimendi is presently in London to discuss details with Arsenal officials and finalize his move from Real Sociedad to the Premier League club.
Zubimendi began his professional career at his childhood club Real Sociedad in 2019. He has made 236 appearances for the team, scoring 10 goals and assisting nine times. It remains to be seen how the 26-year-old will fit into Mikel Arteta’s plans.
