[Highbury Squad] Sami Mokbel: “All the necessary papers have been signed for the transfer for Zubimendi. All that remains is a medical, what would be a quick procedure”

Other points:
Arsenal had a big interest in Mbuemo and did try. The offer that United put on the table is perhaps why he has chosen them
If a move to United doesn’t happen, don’t be surprised if Arsenal come back in for him
A deal for Leroy Sane is not currently advanced but it’s an evolving live situation. He is one of the winger targets being explored
There has been a conversation between him and the club but doesn’t know who initiated the contact
A move would depend on finances but doesn’t think Arsenal would be willing to pay the big wages he would be looking for given his age
Arsenal would love to sign Nico Williams but the issue is wages, doesn’t believe release clause would be a problem
He wants to be one of the, if not the highest paid player at the club
Interest in Anthony Gordon but that would be extremely difficult given he extended his contract last year and NUFC don’t need to sell with UCL
Arsenal are currently trying to understand how much RB would accept for Sesko who has been a target for 2 years
Prior to Berta’s arrival, everyone at the club was aligned with Sesko being the number 1 target
If Arsenal can get Sesko at a reasonable price, he fits the profile more
No rush for Zubimendi to complete his medical due to the national league as the deal has been agreed
It would take something unprecedented for the deal to not go through, doesn’t see that happening
Exiting the deal now could result in legal problems
