Martín Zubimendi on Atlético's radar as Arsenal midfielder
One start and 380 minutes this season: Atlético's sporting directors like the Arsenal midfielder as an option for the January window.
Atlético de Madrid are interested in Martín Zubimendi, the Arsenal midfielder, according to Relevo. The Rojiblancos are looking to strengthen the centre of the pitch in the winter window, and the Basque is among the names on the sporting director's list.
At Arsenal his situation is difficult: this season he has started only once and has played 380 minutes across all competitions, 100 of them in the Premier League. Arteta trusts him less than last season, when he started the first 34 league games, and the relationship between the two has cooled.
Atlético also need a replacement for Koke, Cardoso, Barrios or Hjulmand when they are unavailable, since Obed Vargas and Rodrigo Mendoza have not filled that gap. The Spain international's future remains up in the air.
