Martin Zubimendi says he has no regrets about his decision to reject a summer move to Liverpool.

He added: “You can all rest easy in winter. My philosophy is to do at every moment what comes from within. So far, things have gone well for me.
“It is true that there was a lot of noise [in the transfer window]. I went through…
