Arsenal, who had a season of 'no relation', quickly started to reinforce their power.
The first recruit is Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Subimendi. On the 28th (Korea time), England's 'BBC'Arnall completed signing all documents related to Subimendi's transfer, and the transfer is in the final stage. Arsenal reported that 26-year-old Subimendi plans to announce the signing if he passes medical tests.
Subimendi's transfer fee is 51 million pounds (about 94.5 billion won), which is 'buy-out'. Arsenal have agreed a fee with Real Sociedad for a 'buy-out' transfer. Subimendi, a former Real Sociedad youth, is a defensive midfielder representing La Liga.
In recent years, he has received a love call from Barcelona and Real Madrid. Liverpool offered to sign him last summer, but it didn't happen. Spain international Subimendi has proved his ability on the international stage by replacing Rodri, who was injured in the Euro 2024 final, helping to beat England 1-0.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta called on Subimendi early on. Negotiations have been underway since January of this year, and have paid off with the first recruitment of the summer transfer market.

It's not just Subimendi. Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, reported on Subimendi's medical test on the same day that he was also renewing his contract with Thomas Partey. Romano said 'Arsnall has made a new contract offer to Partey, and negotiations are underway with Arteta pushing to renew his contract'
Arsenal have stepped up faster with the victory of their rival Tottenham in the Europa League. Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 on the 22nd to reach the top of the Europa League in the 2024-2025 season.
It was the first time in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. In the case of the European tournament, it was the first win in 41 years since winning the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League in the 1983-1984 season.
Arsenal's goal is to win the English Premier League (EPL), but they failed again this season after falling behind Liverpool. I had to settle for second place. Starting with Subimendi, it is foreshadowing a 'storm recruitment' It is planning to invest 200 million pounds (about 370 billion won) in the summer transfer market.

Arsenal's recruitment list also includes Portuguese Sporting CP's 'Swedish scoring monster'Victor Jockeres. During his two seasons at Sporting, Jockeres appeared in 102 matches in all tournaments and scored a whopping 97 goals. He scored 43 goals in his first season and swept 54 goals in his second season.
Arsenal are also looking to recruit Benjamin Sesko, who is active in Leipzig in the German Bundesliga. It is also considering recruiting Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams and Espanyol backup goalkeeper Joan Garcia.
However, the transfer of Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain, PSG) to Arsenal, which is drawing attention, seems to have subsided below the surface. Lee Kang-in is expected to leave PSG after this season.
Recently, there has been an interpretation that it may have implied a breakup by deleting all PSG-related introductions on his SNS profile. But it doesn't appear to be Arsenal.
