Man City star Rodri hails Arsenal's Zubimendi as future global star

Martin Zubimendi joined Arsenal from Real Sociedad this summer in a £55 million deal and is widely expected to play a key role in the club's pursuit of trophies in the coming seasons.

Speaking ahead of Spain's World Cup qualifier with Turkey, Manchester City star Rodri, who shares international duties with Zubimendi, said: "He's an exceptional player.

"His discipline and mindset give him every chance to become one of the very best, if he isn't already at that level."

The endorsement from a City midfielder highlights the player's growing reputation and the high expectations surrounding his Premier League debut.
