Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Martin Zubimendi as the Gunners plot a bid for Noni Madueke. Zubimendi joins Arsenal from Real Sociedad on a five-year contract. His arrival is expected to be followed by the signing of Christian Norgaard from Brentford as part of a midfield overhaul following the departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey.

At half-time of last year’s European Championship final against England, Spain manager Luis de la Fuente had a simple message for his players. “Let’s be ourselves,” he told his team, in a speech filmed by Amazon’s documentary-makers.

Mikel Arteta has given his thoughts on the signing of Martin Zubimendi following his big-money move to the club. He and Andrea Berta were both speaking in the wake of the announcement that he had made the move to north London.
