According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal have made an enquiry for Real Sociedad defender Jon Martin. The 20-year-old is considered an option to replace William Saliba, who is expected to be out for several months with an injury. However, a transfer this summer appears unlikely because Real Sociedad gave him a new long-term contract until 2032 on Thursday. The contract includes a €60m release clause, and Jon Martin wants to continue his development at his boyhood club.

Jon Martín is on the list for Arsenal as they seek to replace the injured William Saliba, according to The Sun.

Team Talk reports that Arsenal are monitoring Jon Martin’s progress. This is despite Arsenal already having a sufficient number of players in their backline.

Arsenal have made checks on Real Sociedad's 19-year-old Spanish centre-back Jon Martin as an alternative to Piero Hincapie. With Arsenal's primary focus on securing Bayer Leverkusen's Piero Hincapie, the club has identified Martin as a potential backup option should negotiations for Hincapie falter. Arsenal's interest in Martin underscores their strategy to strengthen their defensive lineup amid ongoing talks for other targets such as Oscar Gloukh and Caleb Yirenkyi. Martin's contract with the Spanish club runs until 2030, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €8.00m.
