Arsenal’s summer transfer window has been a gradual simmer, a world away from the frantic scrambles some fans might have wished for. However, that tranquility appears to be finally ruptured by dramatic news.

The Gunners currently have numbers 10 and 14 available for new recruits. The No.10 shirt has been vacant since Emile Smith Rowe's transfer to Fulham last year - and Eddie Nketiah was the last to wear the No 14, formerly donned by Thierry Henry.

Zubimendi has also been linked with a blockbuster switch to the Emirates Stadium this summer. football.london understands that Arsenal have long admired the Real Sociedad midfielder, who has a release clause in his contract worth €60million (£51.4m).
