Zubimendi: Arteta doesn t need to convince me, I know I want to come here after watching the Gunners game

August 15th News Recently, Arsenal new player Zubimendi was interviewed in DAZN's new season program "Premier Corner by Guinness 0,0", and he talked about his experience of transferring from Real Sociedad to Arsenal.

Zubimendi said: "Arteta doesn't need to convince me. I know by watching the team's game that I want to come here. This summer is very different, and it's not easy to change, but we are here, looking forward to starting a new journey. I'm lucky to be from the city where Real Sociedad is located, which has kept me there for many years, but this year is completely different."

Speaking of joining Arsenal, Zubimende said it was not an immediate decision: "I was a little hesitant last year, and I felt that I could still contribute a lot to Real Sociedadi. But this summer, I felt the time was ripe. When the transfer approached, we did talk, but he didn't need to convince me. I already knew what I wanted by watching the team's game."

In London, Zubimende reunited. Teammates Merino and Odegao: "I'm lucky to have played with them and now I can play side by side with them on the court. This midfield combination sounds great."

Nevertheless, Zubimendi realizes that the Premier League needs to adapt quickly: "The main change will be mentality, and no points are allowed here." He also understands that the new coach will have high requirements for him: "He pays great attention to details and is obsessed with every possible advantage. I believe he will have many requirements for me."

In the process of adapting, Zubimendi knows that it will inevitably be compared with other successful Spanish midfielders, such as Rodri: "I admire him very much, although I think our style is completely different, everyone is walking his own path, and I hope to achieve success in the Premier League like Rodri."
