He is actually the bad egg in this Arsenal team. Until Arteta lets go of him, they will never smell the Premier League title. I can bet my life on that,” former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp urged Arteta to let go of one Arsenal player, warning that if he doesn’t, they will continue suffering and risk losing their Champions League spot next season.

Vincent Kompany is reportedly advocating for Bayern Munich to sign Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal this summer. According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, the 27-year-old versatile player is attracting interest from the Bavarian club, spurred by Kompany’s desire to reunite with his former teammate at the Allianz Arena during the upcoming transfer window.
Oleksandr Zinchenko’s Journey at Arsenal
Oleksandr Zinchenko has proven to be a dependable asset for Arsenal since his transfer from Manchester City in July 2022. The Ukrainian international built a solid reputation at the Etihad for his ability to effectively play both as a left-back and a midfielder. However, the 2023/24 season was challenging for Zinchenko, as injuries hampered his performance. He played only 2,082 minutes over 35 appearances in all competitions, contributing one goal and two assists. By the end of the season, he had lost his starting left-back position to Takehiro Tomiyasu.
This situation has fueled speculation about Zinchenko’s future with Arsenal. Reports suggest that the North London club may be open to offers for the versatile player. This has caught the attention of several major European clubs, including Bayern Munich.
Potential Move to the Bundesliga
Bayern Munich’s interest in Zinchenko is logical, particularly with uncertainties surrounding the future of their current left-back, Alphonso Davies, who might be headed to Real Madrid this summer. Therefore, Bayern is considering signing a new left-back, and Zinchenko has emerged as a suitable candidate.
Vincent Kompany, recently appointed as Bayern Munich’s manager, is particularly keen on bringing Zinchenko to the club. Kompany, who played alongside Zinchenko at Manchester City, sees him as a valuable addition to the squad. Moreover, Kompany is also reportedly interested in signing Bruno Fernandes, showing his intent to strengthen Bayern Munich with Premier League talent.
It remains to be seen if Kompany’s influence will result in Bayern securing the signatures of these high-profile players and how Zinchenko’s future will unfold as the summer transfer window progresses.
