Xabi Alonso, newly appointed Chelsea manager, has reportedly expressed interest in acquiring Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi.
Zubimendi joined Arsenal from Real Sociedad last summer and played a key role in the club’s Premier League triumph and Champions League run.
Arsenal’s recent pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes raises questions about Zubimendi’s future at the club, potentially making him available.
Chelsea’s midfield has seen recent changes, with the departure of Andrey Santos and uncertainties surrounding Enzo Fernandez; Jordan Henderson’s arrival is expected to contribute mainly to squad depth.
While Chelsea may revisit interest in other midfielders, Zubimendi presents a realistic option if Arsenal consider him no longer central to their plans.
The midfielder’s heavy workload in recent seasons could make him an appealing target for clubs seeking experienced players.
No definitive transfer plans have been announced; the situation remains speculative, with a potential move likely to be pursued in future transfer windows if conditions permit.
