There is a problem with Martin Zubimendi's £60million move to Arsenal.

It's not his fault. It's not he club's fault. In fact, it's only a problem because they moved so swiftly and got the deal done with plenty to spare.

Yep the problem is that his switch from Real Sociedad to the Emirates was about year in the making it meant that by the time his arrival was announced, is felt almost underwhelming. The big reveal wasn't a surprise and it left the vast majority questioning why Mikel Arteta had signed another defensive midfielder when he really needed a striker - Viktor Gyokeres had yet to arrive.

Fast forward to now however and Zubimendi's true quality is there for all to see and the Spain international is proving why he, in my opinion, is the best signing by any Premier League club in the summer of 2025.

There were huge deals done last transfer window. Arsenal spent a fortune. Manchester United did. Chelsea spent big. Liverpool trumped the lot with big deals.
