TA: Zubimendi has strong control in the midfield and is injured and smart. He is studying for a degree in sports science

Arsenal officially announced the signing of Spanish international midfielder Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. The Athletic posted a message to talk about some reasons for choosing this signing.

Arsenal was impressed by Zubimendi's ability to control the rhythm of the game in the midfield. Players can also launch attacks from the backcourt and control the game with their excellent pass range. In addition, Zubimendi's mentality, attendance (seldom injured in his career) and professional qualities are highly praised.

players will mainly play in the No. 6 position, and now it seems that Arteta is more inclined to let Rice play in the No. 8 position for free running. But Zubi Mendi can also be used very flexibly, and it is possible to form a double midfielder with Rice in the future. Those familiar with Zubimendi believe that players also have hidden unexplored offensive abilities.

Leaving the Basque was a difficult decision for Zubimendi, and it also took some time to adapt. He can speak some English, it is said that he is very smart and has excellent academic performance. Real Sociedad attaches great importance to the education of young players, and Zubimendi is currently pursuing a degree in sports science.

Perhaps having fought alongside Odegao and Merino at Real Sociedad would make it easier for Zubimedi to adapt, and Kepa and Raya were also his acquaintances in the Spanish national team. Although Arsenal's interest in him may have been driven by Arteta, the scout report also has a high opinion of Zubimendi.
