- On July 6, 2025, Arsenal announced the acquisition of 26-year-old defensive midfielder Martín Zubimendi, who joined from La Liga club Real Sociedad.
- Zubimendi attracted interest from top European clubs including Real Madrid and Liverpool due to his strong performances in LaLiga and Euro 2024.
- He made 236 appearances for Sociedad, progressed through their youth system, helped win the delayed 2019-20 Copa del Rey, and played a key role in Spain's Euro 2024 success.
- Manager Mikel Arteta praised Zubimendi's football intelligence and consistency, saying he has "all the attributes to be a key player for us" and brings great quality to the team.
- The signing enhances Arsenal's midfield following recent departures and reunites Zubimendi with Mikel Merino, another ex-Real Sociedad player now at the club, while additional midfield signings are anticipated.
