Chelsea could target Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi in January transfer window

Chelsea is considering a pursuit of Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi when the transfer window opens in January. The club's interest stems from current depth issues in the midfield, as players such as Moises Caicedo and Jordan Henderson are sidelined with injuries. Although the club previously monitored the former Real Sociedad player before the last deadline, any potential move remains contingent on several factors. Chelsea must determine if they still require reinforcements once injured players return to fitness. Additionally, Zubimendi would need to assess his current playing time at Arsenal to decide if a mid-season move is beneficial. Reports also confirm that Chelsea explored emergency midfield options recently as the club manages its roster availability.
