The Story in 60 Seconds

Chelsea are reportedly considering a January move for Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi as manager Xabi Alonso looks to strengthen his midfield options. Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid are all keeping a close eye on the Spain international, whose playing time at Arsenal has decreased due to increased competition.

Arsenal signed Zubimendi from Real Sociedad for £60 million in 2025 and are expected to demand at least that amount for a permanent transfer. Mikel Arteta has recently favored Bruno Guimaraes and Declan Rice, potentially paving the way for Arsenal to sell Zubimendi to fund a new winger.
