Arsenal have made it abundantly clear that Spanish midfielder Martin Subimendi is not for sale in this transfer window. The news arrives despite the player’s limited appearances in the starting line-up as the new season gets underway, according to reports from Sport.
Manager Mikel Arteta is managing Subimendi's playing time carefully, aiming to distribute the midfielder's workload following a taxing last season and international commitments.
In Arsenal's current setup, the Basque midfielder faces stiff internal competition for a spot in midfield alongside Declan Rice. Subimendi’s direct rivals for his position include star recruit Bruno Guimaraes and promising academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly. Nevertheless, the coaching staff view the Spaniard as an essential tactical component for what promises to be a long and demanding season.
