N'Golo Kante faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea with his contract set to expire at the end of the season – and Arsenal are said to be circling the situation. The 32-year-old has only recently returned from a hamstring issue which he picked up in August, and he's already turning heads upon his return to action.
Despite having signed Jorginho in January, Mikel Arteta is believed to still be in the market for a new midfielder as he's looks to further bolster his options. Arsenal were heavily linked with Moises Caicedo but, despite the Brighton star's best efforts to force a move, a switch failed to materialise.
football.london understands that the Gunners still hold an interest in both Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi. With Arsenal seemingly desperate for a new midfielder, the Blues midfielder has emerged as a potential option who could be acquired relatively easily if he decides to leave Stamford Bridge.
