Martin Zubimendi breaks silence on Chelsea and Atletico Madrid transfer links after losing Arsenal starting spot

Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid are 'monitoring' Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi ahead of the January transfer window. All three clubs view the 27-year-old as an ideal acquisition.
Arsenal's desire to sign a new forward in January depends on a major sale, making Zubimendi an obvious candidate for departure. The English champions want to recoup at least £60m they paid 16 months ago.
Competition for midfield places at Emirates Stadium intensified following an £85m summer purchase of Brazilian Bruno Guimaraes. Arteta often pairs Guimaraes with Declan Rice, leaving Zubimendi awaiting his first Premier League start.
On Saturday, Zubimendi appeared as an 80th-minute substitute during Arsenal's 1-0 win over Hull City, wearing a protective mask after suffering a suspected broken nose against Everton last month.
Despite the transfer speculation, Arteta still regards the Spaniard as a 'valuable option' for his midfield configurations, as Arsenal expects to challenge for both the Premier League and Champions League titles again.
