The La Liga midfielder has joined the Gunners on a five-year contract, in a deal reported to be worth around &pound;60 million. With that, the 26-year-old became Arsenal&rsquo;s second major addition of the summer.<\/p><p>The Gunners&rsquo; first major signing of this transfer window was Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea. Zubimendi had been on Arsenal&rsquo;s radar for over a year. Reportedly, Arteta was &lsquo;obsessed&rsquo; by the midfielder&rsquo;s ability to control games and execute precise passes under pressure.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Controlling the tempo.<br><br>Martin Zubimendi is a Gunner &#9994;<br><br>Original music by Ezra Collective's Femi Koleoso. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sYbDanRUnT\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/sYbDanRUnT<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Arsenal (@Arsenal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Arsenal\/status\/1941814434130784361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 6, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Talks began last summer, when Arsenal also secured Mikel Merino from Sociedad. Apparently, a pre-agreement was in the works for Zubimendi to make the move this year. The Gunners opted to pay slightly more than Zubimendi&rsquo;s &pound;51m release clause to spread the fee in instalments.&nbsp;<\/p><p>It was a move that helped smooth negotiations with the La Liga club.

Last season, he scored in the Nations League final against Portugal as well.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Martin Zubimendi Excited for Arsenal Challenge<\/h2><p>Speaking after completing his move, Zubimendi said: <strong><em>&ldquo;This is a huge moment in my career.
