GOAL reports that Chelsea have entered the race to sign Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi in the upcoming winter window. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are also pursuing the player.
Three clubs monitoring the situation
The Independent reports that Chelsea, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are monitoring the situation of Arsenal star Martin Zubimendi.
Possible departure in January
The Independent reports that Zubimendi could leave the Emirates in January 2027 after his role in Mikel Arteta's plans diminished in recent times. Arsenal will not let him go without recouping the fee paid to sign him from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2025, a figure of at least £60 million.
Protective mask after facial injury
GOAL reports that Zubimendi is nursing a possible broken nose picked up in a clash with Everton that ended in a 2-0 Arsenal win. He came on as a substitute in the 80th minute before taking a blow to the face that required treatment. The club have cleared him to play in a protective mask until he recovers.
