What happened. Real Madrid are considering a surprise swoop for Arsenal's Martin Zubimendi, 12 months after failing to hijack his move to the Premier League champions.

• Zubimendi moved to Arsenal last summer despite late Real Madrid interest.
• He played all 38 Premier League matches, helping Arsenal win their first title in over 20 years.
• Arsenal's £75m signing of Bruno Guimaraes may open the door for a departure.

Real Madrid may test Arsenal's resolve this month, but Arteta is unlikely to let a key player go easily.
