Real Madrid 'make move for Arsenal target Martin Zubimendi' - and 'continue to monitor' in-from Premier League centre back ahead of summer

Real Madrid are interested in signing Arsenal target Martin Zubimendi this summer, according to a report.

The midfielder, who came close to joining Liverpool last summer before turning his back on the deal last-minute, has, for a few months, appeared set to join the Gunners at the end of the campaign.

He would help solve the Gunners' defensive midfield issues, having starred at Real Sociedad for a number of seasons and seemingly keen to take the next step in his career after not being ready last summer.

That hasn't stopped other sides looking to move for his services, however, with it reported that Real Madrid are the latest side to make their intentions to sign him known in a bid to keep him in Spain.
