In a significant move to strengthen their midfield, Arsenal have secured the signing of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. The Gunners are set to activate his £50.5 million (€60 million) release clause, with the player having agreed to personal terms. ( Goal)

Meanwhile, Manchester City are on the verge of breaking the British transfer record with a potential £126 million deal for Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz. The 22-year-old German international has reportedly flown in for talks, with City aiming to make him the successor to Kevin De Bruyne.

City's pursuit of Wirtz faces competition from Bayern Munich, who have submitted an £84 million bid. However, Leverkusen are reportedly more inclined to sell to an overseas club, giving City an advantage.

With these strategic moves, both Arsenal and Manchester City are making significant investments to bolster their squads ahead of the upcoming season.
