Martin Zubimendi explains he’s very happy at Real Sociedad.

The Real Sociedad midfielder was linked with a move to the Emirates in the January transfer window.

He has been in immaculate form for Sociedad this campaign featuring on 33 occasions in all competitions.

It was reported that Arsenal were planning to trigger the £53 million release clause to sign Zubimendi.

The Premier League leaders were desperate to strengthen their midfield in the summer and eventually signed Jorginho from Chelsea on the deadline day.

But Martin Zubimendi had very little intention to leave the Basque club in the middle of the season.

“I have heard very little of that, because I haven’t wanted to listen. I haven’t wanted to listen to anything from outside (my club),” Zubimendi told reporters.

“It’s normal for names to be mentioned with Busquets’ possible departure (from Barcelona). It is nice for my name to be mentioned now and then, but I am concentrating on my own questions.

“It wouldn’t be logical to put Real Sociedad to one side with the season that we are enjoying. I am very happy here.”

Zubimendi is considered a potential replacement for Sergio Busquets by many pundits.
