Arsenal are frontrunners in signing Man City defender Zinchenko

Oleksandr Zinchenko has been heavily linked with Arsenal this summer.

The Man City left-back has fallen down the pecking order and is no longer a part of Guardiola’s plans.

The Gunners are inching closer to agree a deal for the Ukrainian defender who has proven at the top level of the Premier League.

Although Zinchenko can provide more depth at full-back, he can also be an excellent midfield option for Mikel Arteta.

Even CBS journalist Ben Jacobs considers Arsenal a viable option for Zinchenko.

“Zinchenko ticks a lot of boxes for Arsenal. The player is sold on the move, he’s worked with Arteta before at Manchester City and he knows exactly what he’s getting with that football club,” Jacobs said.

He’s been a superb servant for Manchester City, but this is a very real possibility and it is intensifying, the club are in contracts and Arsenal are relatively confident at this stage, they feel they are the frontrunners and they feel Man City will be open to a sale.”
