'He can turn into one of the continent's most important players'
Spanish football journalist Roberto Ramajo says a Premier League move could help Martin Zubimendi develop his game to become one of the world's Spaniard would arrive at Arsenal with plenty of experience under his belt, including over 200 games of Spanish football and more than 30 matches in European competition."Zubimendi isn't a 10 at anything, but he's an eight at everything," Ramajo told BBC Sport."In the Premier League, he can develop into a 10 at everything. The future belongs to him, because his ability to adapt and learn is very high."Martin has very good tactical ability; he knows how to occupy space on the pitch almost perfectly, and he reads his team's needs very well. He has fantastic reading of the game because he's very intelligent without the ball. I know he's hailed with the ball, but I like him better off it."His style can quickly adapt to the needs of the Premier League, and it can help him establish himself definitively among the elite of our continent's most important players, even if it means saying goodbye to one of the most talented players Real Sociedad's youth system has ever produced."

Alex de Minaur gives Katie Boulter wedding update - as Australia star reveals when the tennis power couple plan to tie the knot
Australian tennis star Alex de Minaur has offered an honest update about who is in charge of wedding preparations as he and Katie Boulter prepare to tie the knot. The pair, who have been dating since March 2020, announced their engagement in December ahead of the Australian Open. De Minaur and Boutler had shared a selfie of themselves on social media to confirm the news, with the British star sporting a stunning engagement ring in the picture. The Australian, the world No12, was asked by the BBC about preparations for the wedding at Queen's as he builds towards Wimbledon next month. De Minaur appeared to admit that Boulter had taken a lead on wedding plans, before revealing when they are planning to tie the knot. 'That's the hardest job out there,' De Minaur said when asked how wedding planning was going. 🗣️💬 'Way harder than playing tennis!' 😅 Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter's wedding planning is tougher than they thought 💍🤵♂️👰 — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) June 19, 2025 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Katie Boulter (@katiecboulter) 'Way harder than playing tennis at the moment. 'I would like to say I have some sort of say in it, at least I think I do, that might not be 100% 'I do think we are probably looking at next year, that's the plan.' De Minaur had joked at the Australian Open in Janaury about how he needed to win more matches to help fund their wedding. 'When I'm on the court, and you see me so stressed out, I'm just thinking of the wedding budget,' he quipped on court. 'That's why I'm like, 'I need to win more money, I need to win more matches. 'That's all that goes through my head. So now, you know what's going on inside my head.' Having initially met on the professional tennis circuit, the pair had bumped into each other while out for a 6am coffee. It was here that their relationship blossomed and Boulter admitted that was when she knew he was the one. 'We bumped into each other at six in the morning and ended up getting a coffee. From that moment, I knew I was in it for the long haul,' Boulter had previously told The Age. Over the years, the pair have captured the hearts of many tennis fans for their blossoming relationship, with Boulter and De Minaur both regularly seen in the stands watching each other play. Earlier this week, De Minaur spoke out in support of his fiancee after Boulter revealed the extent of the social media abuse she receives in an interview with the BBC. The 28-year-old's examples included a message telling her to buy 'candles and a coffin for your entire family' with a reference to her 'grandmother's grave if she's not dead by tomorrow', one stating she should 'go to hell' as she had cost the poster money, and another stating 'hope you get cancer'. Boulter said: 'I just wonder who the person is that has sent that. I don't think it's something that I would ever say to my worst enemy. 'It's just an awful, awful thing to say to anyone. It's horrible. 'It shows how vulnerable we are. You really don't know if this person is on site. You really don't know if they're nearby or if they know where you live or anything like that.' Following the interview, a De Minaur has called for 'angry gamblers' to be held accountable. 'It's great for her to step up and shine a light into this, which is something that happens to every single tennis player out there. Every single athlete, I would say,' he said. 'Hopefully there is something that can be done about it. It's something that's been going on for a while now. It's something that a lot of people have spoken out against, but it doesn't change.'
