Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will always be particularly close to San Sebastian in Spain, where he was born and where he took his first steps in football alongside Xabi Alonso at Antiguoco.Later in his professional career, he spent half a season at Real Sociedad before moving on to Everton and Arsenal. It’s no secret that his old team have played the game he loved for so long, but for now it seems that Martin Zuvimendi wants to stay at the Basque giants.
Liverpool are ready to battle the Gunners for the 25-year-old midfielder’s signature this summer, according to Anfield Watch/Football Transfers. His €60m release clause is still valid, so clubs trying to convince him to leave La Liga for the Premier League will not be able to get him on the cheap.
Barcelona are also said to have been interested in the player for a long time as his natural game is similar to former Sergio Busquets. The summer could be one of the biggest transfer wars we’ve ever seen and whoever is lucky enough to sign a player won’t regret buying a great player who hasn’t even played a game yet if they accept the move. His best days.
