Slot: Why did we want to sign Zubimendi

Liverpool’s manager Arne Slot explained why the Reds were interested in Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who later joined Arsenal.

A year ago, Liverpool reached an agreement on personal terms with Martin Zubimendi, with the intention of becoming the first firm under the slot of the Arne manager.

At that time, Slot inherited a strong squad, and Zubimendi was seen as a player who could complete the center of the field and make the team even more formidable.

The midfielder seemed convinced to make the movement, and Liverpool was prepared to pay his full release clause.

The only remaining step was that the rate would be deposited with the League. However, his Real Sociedad manager persuaded him to stay, and in the end, Zubimendi rejected the opportunity to join Liverpool.

A year later, Zubimendi received another opportunity to move to the Premier League, this time signing for Arsenal. Since then, Liverpool has continued and even captured the premiere title League last season.

However, Zubimendi will now face his former suitors when Arsenal meets the Reds in tomorrow’s game, making the match particularly convincing.

Before the great shock slots on Sunday he has now explained the club’s interest in the midfielder, highlighting the attributes that made him an attractive goal. Speaking through The Independent (according to Onefootball.com), he said: “What we liked about him was the good thing that is in the ball and how much information about the game has.

“We thought, and it was true, that we would have the ball a lot in each game, and then have someone in front of their defense that is very comfortable in the ball would have been a good option for us.”

Zubimendi has already caused a positive impression on Arsenal, demonstrating its quality in recent games.

Its presence in the center of the field is expected to provide stability, control and creativity, which makes it an important figure while gunners prepare to challenge Liverpool.
