Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to discuss the potential arrival of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and what it could mean for Arsenal's midfield.

The Spanish midfielder is expected to be Mikel Arteta's first signing of the summer, with a £51m deal reportedly in it's final stages. The panel discuss his best qualities and why he’d be a great fit – including where he’d slot into the side and how he’d benefit those around him. We also hear from The Athletic's data writer Thom Harris and tactics writer Liam Tharme with their takes on what his arrival could mean for the club.

Plus, PSG's performance in the Champions League final and the guys pick their favourite Arsenal shirts of all time.
