Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi has dismissed speculation linking him with a January departure from the club. This comes following a difficult start to the season, and fans have been reacting.
Insisting that he is ready to fight for his place in Mikel Arteta’s midfield despite fierce competition for starting minutes, Zubimendi denied claims that an exit is imminent.
The Spaniard added that Arteta already warned him about the competition for places at the start of the season.
His words, “To be honest, I’m sometimes surprised by the press too.
I understand that the winter transfer window is approaching and rumours can surface, but I think we need to be a bit more careful with what we publish.
Ultimately, everyone has a team they play for, and we need to respect that.
I’ve also read that I might be close, but not at all.
I spoke with Mikel at the beginning of the season
He warned me that there were new signings and that there would be playing time for everyone. And here we are, fighting for it.
I understand because, for me, we’re among the five best teams in Europe. I’m also part of that competition that makes it so difficult to get playing time.
I’m patient. When you’ve been playing a lot of minutes and your role changes to not playing as much, I’m able to see the positive side.”
