An assumed choice and a controlled trajectory<\/h2>\n

Zubimendi’s transfer to Arsenal was concluded for an amount of around 70 million euros. Coveted by several major European clubs, including Real Madrid, the midfielder chose to join the Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, this choice seems fully accepted. The player himself emphasizes having joined Arsenal to experience high-level European evenings.<\/p>\n

Arsenal still in the race on all fronts<\/h2>\n

Despite a recent period marked by inconsistent results, Arsenal remains solidly positioned in both major competitions. In the Premier League, the Gunners maintain a six-point lead at the top of the table.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the European scene, a confrontation against Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid looms in the semi-final of the Champions League, promising an intense tactical duel.<\/p>\n

Zubimendi did not avoid the difficulties encountered by his team in recent weeks. He recognized a lack of clarity in the final third of the pitch, while emphasizing the group’s defensive solidity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
