From the source
Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi is reportedly facing an uncertain future at the Emirates Stadium after falling down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta. The Spanish international enjoyed an important role during his first season in North London, but his situation has changed considerably in recent months, raising questions about his long-term prospects at the club.
According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Zubimendi has managed just ten minutes of Premier League football across Arsenal’s last four matches. The former Real Sociedad midfielder has struggled to establish himself in Arteta’s preferred starting lineup this season.
He has not started a single Premier League or Champions League fixture, with his only two starts coming in the Carabao Cup, where Arsenal have already been eliminated.
