According to Fabrizio Romano on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Arsenal midfielder Martín Zubimendi has indicated that he is happy at the Emirates Stadium and expects to remain with the club until the end of the current season.
The Spanish international recently faced questions about his future in North London, particularly whether he planned to stay at Arsenal until June. His response suggested that he has no immediate plans to leave, offering reassurance to supporters who have been concerned by reports linking him with a possible departure.
“Staying at Arsenal until June? I think so. I am happy there,” Zubimendi said.
His comments come at an important stage of the campaign as Arsenal continue their efforts to compete for major trophies. The club will want to keep its key players focused and available, especially as the number of important fixtures increases during the second half of the season.
Zubimendi joined Arsenal after manager Mikel Arteta identified him as a player who could improve the team’s midfield options. The Spaniard was considered a suitable addition because of his ability to control possession, read the game and help his team maintain balance during matches.
At 27, he brings experience and technical quality to the midfield. His composure when receiving the ball and ability to make decisions under pressure are among the qualities that have made him an important part of Arsenal’s plans.
During the interview, Zubimendi also discussed the role Arteta played in convincing him about the club’s project. He explained that the manager had clearly presented his plans before the season started.
“Arteta explained the plan to me at the start of the season and we’re here, fighting,” he added.
The midfielder’s remarks suggest that he remains comfortable with the direction of the team and understands the role expected of him. His positive comments also reflect his confidence in the work being done under Arteta.
For Arsenal, retaining players who understand the manager’s approach is important as the club continues to pursue its targets. Zubimendi’s presence gives Arteta another option in an area of the team where control, discipline and good distribution are essential.
Although his comments do not settle questions about his long-term future beyond the current campaign, they indicate that he is happy at Arsenal for now and intends to remain focused on helping the team achieve its objectives this season.
