Arsenal Target arrives in London to complete the transfer months after the agreement has been agreed
Martin Zubimeni arrived in England to complete his transfer to Arsenal, Talksport understands.
Zubimeni is destined to sign a long -term agreement at the Emirates stadium after verbally accepting the personal terms in May.
The Gunners will be expected to pay the real release clause of £ 50 million in the Spanish to involve the midfielder.
Now he is in London to make his transfer official, ending up a long wait to go to the Premier League.
The news will be welcomed by the fans of Arsenal, who waited for weeks for important news on transfers while looking at their rivals to strengthen themselves in the transfer window.
The interviews of Arsenal to sign Zubimeni were already in an advanced phase until January.
They had been looking at the 26 -year -old for over a year and had approached a lot to make an agreement.
But the gunners’ request that Zubimeni moves to the club in the winter window was rejected by Sociedad
It meant that He remained in Laliga until the end of the seasonwith his arrival set for the summer.
And now that plan is destined to make.
Zubimeni was an important goal for Liverpool last summer and almost signed Spain International.
However, he refused a passage to Anfield to stay in Spain.

The Reds did not revisit their interest in Zubimeni and this allowed Arsenal to hit and sign it.
He will become the first signature of Mikel Arte of the summer while trying to strengthen his team for the new season.
Zubimeni will probably join Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in midfield to create a strong trio.
His arrival could also suggest that the future of Thomas Party was far from the Emirates, with his agreement that expires.
Talksport includes that Party has held talks with Barcelona about a free transfer.
The Gunners confirmed that they were in negotiations to extend his agreement this summer, but so far the negotiations have not led to an agreement.

Zubimeni will certainly be a great addition for Arsenal, after spending all his career and making over 250 appearances with Sociedad.
The European football expert in Talksport, Kevin Hatchard, said on the star last year: “Zubimeni was very faithful to Sociedad.
“It is an exceptional defensive midfielder, there is no doubt, he is a great passerby of the ball, he wins the ball so often.
“Start with counterattacks and would have adapted to Liverpool, but will also adapt to Arsenal.”
Hatchard added: “The tax of over 50 million pounds may seem expensive but it is not easy to get players with that type of calm and quality in that deep position in midfield”.
