In a surprising turn of events, Arsenal is reportedly set to make a significant move in the January transfer window. According to the Daily Mail, the Gunners are preparing a €60 million bid to secure the services of Real Sociedad's highly-rated midfielder, Martín Zubimendi.

The news comes as a shock to many, especially considering Zubimendi's strong public stance last summer when he rejected a move to Liverpool. The Spanish international expressed his loyalty to Real Sociedad and opted to remain at the club where he has made 22 appearances this season, scoring once.

Arsenal's interest in Zubimendi has been brewing for some time, but the Gunners now appear ready to make their move. Mikel Arteta's side have been on the lookout for a defensive midfielder to bolster their squad, and Zubimendi's ability to dictate the tempo of play and break up attacks makes him an ideal candidate.

The €60 million fee would trigger the player's release clause, ensuring a smooth transfer if both clubs can agree on the terms. It remains to be seen whether Real Sociedad will be willing to let their prized asset leave mid-season, but Arsenal's determination to secure his signature suggests that a deal could be on the cards.

Zubimendi's potential move to Arsenal would be a major coup for the North London club. The Spanish international has been tipped for a big future and is seen as one of the most promising young midfielders in European football. His arrival at the Emirates Stadium would undoubtedly strengthen Arsenal's midfield and give them a better chance of challenging for trophies in the years to come.

The transfer window is far from over, and there is still plenty of time for the situation to develop. However, the rumors linking Zubimendi with a move to Arsenal are gaining momentum, and it seems increasingly likely that the Spanish midfielder will be playing his football in the Premier League sooner rather than later.
