"Zubimendi sang La Bachata by Manuel Turizo, and found settling in at Arsenal absolutely fine after having to get through that awkward hurdle! The worst thing in football, he said. I had to sing: I did La Bachata, by Manuel Turizo. Horrible, horrible.

The 26-year-old has settled in superbly at the Emirates Stadium, instantly becoming a hugely important player for his new club."
"Elsewhere in the interview, Zubimendi also gave some insight into how he ended up choosing Arsenal despite Liverpool also trying to sign him the year before, as reported by the Times. The former Real Sociedad man now clearly looks like he could have been an excellent signing for Liverpool as well, so Arsenal fans will be delighted that their club ended up winning that particular race. Zubimendi now looks like will be one of a number of new AFC signings ready to take Mikel Arteta's side a step closer to winning major silverware."
Martin Zubimendi was required to sing as an initiation when joining Arsenal, choosing "La Bachata" by Manuel Turizo and describing the experience as horrible. The shy Spain international quickly settled at the Emirates Stadium and has become an important midfield figure for Arsenal. Arsenal beat Liverpool in the race to sign the 26-year-old former Real Sociedad player, who might also have suited Liverpool. Zubimendi's strong early performances suggest he could be one of several new signings helping Mikel Arteta's side push for major trophies.
