Arteta says Arsenal wouldn't have won PL title without Zubimendi
Arteta says Arsenal wouldn't have won the Premier League title last season without Martin Zubimendi, calling the midfielder one of the team's best players. He made the remarks ahead of Arsenal's match against Coventry, noting Zubimendi scored five goals and provided one assist in 38 Premier League appearances and helped the Gunners contend for multiple trophies. Arteta spoke via Afcstuff on X, emphasizing Zubimendi's importance cannot be overlooked.
Arteta's praise highlights how crucial Zubimendi is to Arsenal's plans for the 2026-27 season, especially as they aim to win the UEFA Champions League. The midfielder's contribution last season showed he can drive the team's attacking and defensive balance, making him a key piece in Arteta's squad.
Fans should expect Zubimendi to remain a central figure in midfield; monitoring his fitness and form will be important as Arsenal pushes for domestic and European success. Will his continued presence be the difference between another title challenge and falling short?
