The Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal transfer rumours are heating up amid talk that the versatile midfielder is expected to be reunited with Mikel Arteta and Gabriel Jesus.
Prior to the Gunners completing a £45m deal for the Brazilian striker, they were being heavily linked with a move for the Ukraine international. However, their interest appeared to have cooled off when attention turned to Ajax and Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez.
But in a major twist this week, Arsenal have accepted defeat to Manchester United with regards to Martinez and therefore are planning to raid Manchester City once again before the summer transfer window closes by targeting Zinchenko, who would be a welcome addition to Arteta’s first-team squad.
C apable of operating at left-back as well as in central midfield, the 25-year-old will help to fix two major problems if he was to seal a move to the Emirates Stadium – most notably providing adequate cover for Kieran Tierney who has struggled with injuries during his three years at the club.
As per the Manchester Evening News, the latest developments on this potential transfer are positive for Arsenal as there is a growing expectation that Zinchenko will become their fifth signing of the summer after Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Gabriel Jesus.
