Arsenal s first signing! 60 million euros intercept Real Madrid, is Zubimendi the "anti-drug" of Arteta

It is hard to say that Arsenal has spent a particularly failed season this season, but the results of all four are not successful. The most suitable adjective may be "regret and disappointment". When Manchester City fell behind in the league, Arsenal did not seize the opportunity; when he was abandoned in the domestic Cup, he only reached the semi-finals of the Champions League; although the lineup was clearly clear, the targeted reinforcement of the winter window has not arrived yet. Arsenal fans may be accustomed to this result in the end, but they still think that Arsenal can do better.

The championship battle for Arsenal this season has all ended, and Arteta's team misses all the championship honors. Now it is time to turn its attention to the new season. Confirmed from many media and many well-known football reporters, Arsenal's first signing in the summer window has been confirmed. Zubi Mendi of La Liga Real Sociedad will switch to Arsenal this summer window. Premier League giants paid a penalty of 60 million euros. The deal has already fallen into pieces. The transfer window can be opened to complete the official announcement. Arsenal is at least one step ahead of its competitors in terms of signings.

Arsenal's strategy of continuing to strengthen the midfield is not wrong. The team will lose Jorginho in this summer window, and Thomas' contract is about to expire. Rice and Odgao both need new partners, and there will always be no problem in strengthening the midfield midfield midfielder position. Moreover, Zubimendi is one of the most watched players in the transfer market this summer window. Teams including Manchester City, Liverpool and other teams are paying attention to his future. Alonso once suggested that Real Madrid sign a Spanish midfielder, but Real Madrid chose to give up, and Arsenal took the lead in completing the signing.

The attention of many wealthy clubs shows that Zubimendi is still very competitive, but this does not mean that he is Arteta's "champion antidote". Not to mention the team's forward position needs, from the perspective of the midfield alone, what Arsenal needs is not just a Zubi Mendy who can organize offenses in the back midfield and have defensive capabilities, but a passer who can improve the team's offense. Zubimendi, who prefers to pass the "safety ball", may not have a qualitative change effect at least for Arsenal now.

This deal is certainly not bad, but Arsenal should pay more attention to Odegao's problem. As the team's mid-front offensive core, Odegao has already had shortcomings in threatening the passing ability of the ball. Signing Zubi Mendy cannot solve this problem well, and the two cannot complement each other. Arsenal still needs a top offensive player or a stronger passer on the offensive end. Of course, signing Zubimendi is not the end of Arsenal's signings, it may just be the beginning. Perhaps Arteta has bigger plans, and Zubimendi is just part of the plan.
