Martin Zubimendi's Initiation at Arsenal
Martin Zubimendi jokingly referred to having to perform the initiation song as "the worst thing in football" and "horrible" after joining Arsenal from Real Sociedad.
Zubimendi was a highly sought-after player, with top European clubs like Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Real Madrid interested in signing him. However, he chose to join Arsenal and has had a great start to his time with the club.
The worst thing in football
The initiation song is a long-standing tradition where new players sing a song in front of their teammates after joining a new club. Many legendary Arsenal players have done it, and it's also a practice for academy players. For example, Bukayo Saka sang "Let Me Love You" by Mario when he got promoted to the senior squad.
Arsenal signed Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad in the summer, and he has quickly settled into the team.
