Arsenal Signs Versatile Midfielder Zubimendi Ahead 2025 Season

As the 2025–26 Premier League season approaches, Arsenal's new signing Martin Zubimendi described his move as a 'drastic change' after 15 years at his previous club, expressing optimism about joining a big club and his connection with manager Mikel Arteta. Arsenal is also engaged in a high-profile transfer race to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting, with Manchester United making a competitive offer; however, the player prefers Arsenal due to their Champions League status and title ambitions. Fan reactions to Arsenal's prospects this season are mixed, with some expressing cautious optimism about the new signings and others concerned the squad has not improved enough to challenge for the title. Meanwhile, Newcastle United, after winning the Carabao Cup and securing Champions League qualification last season, face key fixtures that could define their 2025–26 campaign. Across the Premier League, clubs are gearing up for a demanding season with multiple transfers, tactical changes, and the impact of recent tournaments like the FIFA Club World Cup likely influencing team performances. The pre-season period will be crucial for teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle to build momentum and integrate new players ahead of a competitive league campaign.
