Arsenal has been actively scouting players from Real Sociedad, with midfielder Martin Zubimendi being a prominent target for the Gunners. Zubimendi has been delivering outstanding performances in the midfield for the La Liga side, drawing interest from several top European clubs. Arsenal is reportedly considering triggering his release clause in the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, Zubimendi is not the only player from Real Sociedad catching the eye of Mikel Arteta’s team. According to a report in The Sun, Arsenal is also interested in signing winger Ander Barrenetxea. The 22-year-old has been a key player for Real Sociedad, contributing significantly to their success in securing a top-four finish in Spain last season.
While Arsenal already boasts talented attackers in their squad, the pursuit of players like Barrenetxea underscores the club’s commitment to strengthening its depth across all areas of the pitch. Adding him to the Emirates Stadium would provide Arteta with additional quality options in the attacking department.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have some fine forwards in our squad, no doubt about that, but we need more players in the group to offer us greater options.
This is necessary because we play many competitive games in a season, which could increase next term.

He’s been Sociedad regular for 4 seasons now, having scored just 12 goals. Horrendous tally. Maybe the scouts mistook him for Sociedads Mikel Oyarzabal who’s scored +10 goals a season for 6 seasons already?
Maybe a deal of £30 mill plus Teinrny would be too hard to turn down, given the fact Zubimendi buy out clause is £52 mill.
Yet another left winger who cannot cross a ball with his left foot.No thanks.
Why not Robinson at Fulham? Good LB, can defend, overlap, a solid player who would improve us at LB.
He would indeed Durand but unfortunately a conventional full back does not appear to appeal to Arteta regardless of the fact that he is vastly superior to Zinchenko and Kwior in that position.
He’s a skilled defensive midfielder/deep playmaker to my understanding? Sort of player we need, I think.
Oops – article was about Barrenetxea – I have no idea haha
