Arsenal are one of the clubs interested in a move for Jon Martin, the latest young talent to break into the first team at Real Sociedad, a club the Gunners have worked with in recent years.Arsenal and the Spanish side have developed a good relationship, which helped the Gunners sign Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino. If Arsenal decide to pursue another Sociedad player, discussions could therefore benefit from that existing relationship.Arsenal face competition for MartinHowever, Arsenal are not the only club interested in signing the defender. Fichajes says they face competition from Chelsea and Liverpool for his signature.Both Premier League rivals reportedly view Martin as an important potential addition and believe he is a defender with the ability to reach the highest level of the game. His emergence at Sociedad has therefore attracted attention from several clubs.Martin has only recently broken into the Sociedad first team, and the 20-year-old may prefer to continue developing at the Spanish club for now. That could make a move during the coming transfer window less straightforward, particularly if he wants to establish himself further before considering a transfer.(Photo by Ion Alcoba Beitia/Getty Images)Arsenal continue to monitor MartinDespite that, Arsenal now have Martin on their radar and will continue to assess his development. The Gunners see him as one of the best young defenders in Spain and could consider making a move if the opportunity arises.Arsenal’s existing relationship with Sociedad could be useful if they decide to pursue their interest, although competition from Chelsea and Liverpool could make any potential deal more difficult.For now, Martin remains focused on his development at Sociedad, having only recently established himself in the first team. A move away may therefore not be his immediate priority, but his performances have ensured that leading clubs are monitoring his situation.Arsenal will not want to lose the opportunity to sign a player they regard highly, particularly with other Premier League clubs also interested. The Gunners are therefore expected to continue following Martin closely as they consider their options for the future._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
