"I've got enough on my plate" – Arsenal says he wants to stay until end of season

Zubimendi says he's happy at Arsenal and denies being close to Atlético Madrid, insisting he hasn't contacted anyone about a move.

Martín Zubimendi has dismissed reports linking him with a January move to Atlético Madrid, telling Marca he remains committed to Arsenal despite limited playing time this season. The Spain midfielder, who has featured in just seven Premier League matches, said he hasn't wasted energy on transfer speculation and hasn't contacted anyone about leaving.

"I'm happy there," he confirmed when asked if he'll stay until the end of the season. Zubimendi acknowledged that the rumours bother him but stressed the need to respect players' current clubs. His comments come after Atlético Madrid were reported to be interested in signing him, with teammate Álex Baena publicly encouraging him to join Los Rojiblancos.
