Arsenal star is prepared to ask for a transfer in January

Martin Zubimendi has still not made his first start of the season for Arsenal, despite the Gunners having already played in the Champions League, the Community Shield and the Premier League.

The midfielder was one of the first names on the team sheet last season as Arsenal won the league title and reached the finals of the Champions League and Carabao Cup.

He was hailed as a transformative signing by the club, as his performances in midfield offered the team plenty of safety and stability. However, he spent much of Spain’s stay at the World Cup on the bench behind Rodri, and he would have been keen to return to the Emirates so that he could get more game time.

That has not happened, as he has remained on the bench, even when new signing Bruno Guimaraes has not started matches. The World Cup winner is now set to make a decision on his future.

Zubimendi’s Arsenal situation

Zubimendi’s lack of starts represents a significant change from last season, when he was regularly trusted in the Arsenal midfield.

The midfielder had established himself as an important part of the team, helping provide the stability that made his performances so valuable to the Gunners.

However, his current situation has raised questions about whether he will remain patient at the Emirates or look for a move if his opportunities do not increase.

According to Football365, Zubimendi is set to leave the Emirates in January and will ask for a transfer if his situation does not change at the club.

Transfer decision could follow

Zubimendi was linked with a move to Chelsea and Real Madrid in the summer, but Arsenal refused to consider a sale.

The club could now open the door for him to leave at the end of this year if his position within the squad remains unchanged.

For Arsenal, losing a player who was previously regarded as a transformative signing would be a major decision, particularly after the midfielder played such an important role last season.

Zubimendi’s next few months could therefore prove crucial, with his future at the Emirates potentially depending on whether he can finally secure regular opportunities in the Arsenal team.
