Arsenal’s midfield plans have taken shape following Jorginho’s departure from the club. The Gunners are set to complete the signing of Martin Zubimendi, a holding midfielder, in a deal worth €60m, with the player expected to undergo medical tests and sign the contract soon, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Zubimendi, who plays as a defensive midfielder, is anticipated to bolster Arsenal’s midfield. The club had agreed on a €60m deal for the player earlier this month, as reported on May 10.
Meanwhile, negotiations are ongoing for a new contract for Thomas Partey, Arsenal’s current midfielder. The club had been in talks to retain Partey’s services, with the manager seeking a contract extension, as reported on May 22. The development comes after Jorginho’s exit from Arsenal, having joined Flamengo on a free transfer, as announced on May 27.
