"Arsenal are scouting Real Sociedad central defender Jon Martin, according to a national newspaper report. The Gunners are one of Europe's best-coached sides defensively and are reportedly looking to Spain for future reinforcements. Arsenal's rearguard was supplemented this summer by the arrival of Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia, who will challenge Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori at centre-back.

"The 19-year-old is particularly dominant in aerial duels and expected to play a more prominent first-team role this season following loanee Nayef Aguerd's return to parent club West Ham United. A right-sided centre-half by trade, Martin made his LaLiga debut during the penultimate game of the 2023-24 season. He came to the fore with San Sebastian-based Real Sociedad towards the end of the 2024-25 campaign, starting in Igor Zubeldia's place after the 28-year-old sustained a hamstring injury in a 3-1 victory over UD Las Palmas."
Arsenal are scouting Real Sociedad centre-back Jon Martin. The club added Cristhian Mosquera this summer and are preparing for possible departures including Jakub Kiwior and Takehiro Tomiyasu. Martin is 19, a right-sided centre-half known for aerial dominance and is expected to have a more prominent first-team role after Nayef Aguerd returned to West Ham. He made his LaLiga debut in the penultimate game of 2023-24 and emerged at the end of 2024-25, replacing Igor Zubeldia after a hamstring injury in a 3-1 win over UD Las Palmas. Martin partnered Pau Cubarsi at U17 tournaments and stood out for Spain at the U19 Euros, winning 10 of 12 aerial duels against Espanyol.
