Real Sociedad may have dropped the biggest hint yet that Martin Zubimendi won't be completing a move to Arsenal before the January transfer window closes.
The Gunners' one remaining priority this month, in terms of incomings, after bolstering in defence and attack by signing Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard, has been to add another midfielder to the ranks and there have been links to a number of players across Europe as well as closer to home in the Premier League.
"We’ve been pretty active," Mikel Arteta told reporters following Arsenal's 1-0 loss against Manchester City on Friday night. "We have some necessities and if something else is available the club is willing to try to do it when it’s reasonable and hopefully it’s a player that can improve our squad."
