Oleksandr Zinchenko, a utility player for Arsenal, has been contacted by Marco Silva’s Fulham regarding his availability in anticipation of a possible transfer.
It has been reported by GiveMeSport that Fulham has reached out to Arsenal to inquire about a possible trade of Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Cottagers are in negotiations with the Ukrainian international’s camp, although they do not presently have a high priority to acquire a fullback.
Despite interest from the Middle East, Fulham has worked hard to persuade Marco Silva to stay with the team. Now, they want to make sure he has enough talent in his squad to help them advance. They haven’t taken any noteworthy action during this window, but they plan to step up their efforts in the upcoming weeks.
They are considering a transfer for Zinchenko of Arsenal, who has lost ground at the North London club since Riccardo Calafiori joined and Myles Lewis-Skelly rose to prominence. The Ukrainian full-back still has a year left on his contract, but Mikel Arteta no longer considers him a key player.
Fulham are in talks to sign Zinchenko
Zinchenko earns almost £200,000 per week at Emirates in the meanwhile. Since Riccardo Calafiori was signed, he has slipped in the rankings. Additionally, Myles Lewis-Skelly, a kid, is displaying his skills. The Ukrainian defender is now available for the Gunners to let go of. For interested teams, they have set a price of £15 million.
Since early June, Fulham and Zinchenko’s agents have been communicating. However, the prospect of relocating across London is still very much alive. Although Fulham is still interested, AC Milan has also made an appearance. After Theo Hernandez joined Al Hilal lately, the Italian team is searching for a successor. The pursuit for the left-back may change as a result.
The Arsenal defender can play a variety of roles and has excellent UCL experience. Silva could find that helpful with every week of the season.
The club and the player are open to discussing a move. Fulham may finalize another lucrative summer signing. If the Gunners star decides to leave the team this window, it will be intriguing to watch.
