Arteta spoke of his 'excitement' at the four signings Arsenal have made during pre-season but says more additions are needed.

One of Arsenal's new star players has credited Mikel Arteta for convincing him to make the switch to North London.

Liverpool reportedly triggered Zubimendi’s affordable £60 million ($81.3 million) release clause in 2024 only to be rejected by the player. That same summer, Arsenal bought his Real Sociedad teammate Mikel Merino and, as has now been revealed, greased the wheels for Zubimendi’s arrival.
