How did Liverpool come about Zubimendi’s name?
It’s a very intriguing update from the local paper in the Donostia-San Sebastian region, which, to our knowledge here at Empire of the Kop, tends to be somewhat reliable on all matters Real Sociedad.
But how did Liverpool get to Zubimendi as a transfer option?
The arrival of Arne Slot no doubt represents a continuation of the style of football Jurgen Klopp brought and refined at Anfield.
That said, with every new head coach, some tweaks and changes are more or less inevitable. And now it seems the La Liga midfielder could be a key man in spearheading further changes, with Liverpool now keen on signing a controller over a destroyer at the base of their midfield.
