Arsenal midfielder Martín Zubimendi has blamed journalists and interviews for fuelling the fire over a potential move to Real Madrid in the summer, before he signed for the Gunners.
Zubimendi signed for the north London club at the start of July in a £60 million ($80.1 million) deal, and has started well in the Premier League. Arsenal supporters are hopeful that the club’s aggressive transfer window will help them get over the line in the title race this term, having finished runners-up in three consecutive seasons.
