Chelsea among clubs interested in Arsenal's Martin Zubimendi for January move
Summary

Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid are monitoring Martin Zubimendi for a potential transfer in January. The Arsenal midfielder has seen reduced playing time under manager Mikel Arteta, especially with the recent acquisition of Bruno Guimaraes. Zubimendi, who suffered a facial injury last month, still played a key role in Spain's World Cup victory. Arsenal is likely seeking to recover the £60 million spent on him, as they consider further squad adjustments.
