Mikel Arteta is nearly rejoining Oleksandr Zinchenko in a £ 30 million transfer for the Ukrainian to Arsenal.

 

The pair cooperated at Manchester City for over three years with the player had shown up just a day after the fact than the coach when both joined the club in July 2016.

 

Zinchenko was promptly loaned out to PSV Eindhoven prior to getting back to City and bit by bit made himself a presence in the first team, which he was a completely fledged piece of when Arteta left for Arsenal in December 2019.

 

An agreement has purportedly been gone after the 25-year-old to go along with him in north London and his flexibility is supposed to be a vital resource in Arteta's choice to take the action.

Pep Guardiola has to a great extent played Zinchenko at left-back while he includes in central midfield for his country.

 

Arsenal could do with cover on the flank given Nuno Tavares' battles in the situation since his appearance the previous summer in addition to Kieran Tierney's injury issues. The Gunners likewise passed up announced target Aaron Hickey, who finished the paperwork for Brentford.

 

Tierney would probably stay the best option for the new season, when fit, however, Zinchenko taking over would permit Arteta to keep the central nexus of Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey together or drop in new signing Fabio Vieira for a more offensive standpoint.

 

Should Zinchenko be sent in midfield, his left-footed nature would almost certainly mean Xhaka - in some cases considered solid by Gunners fans - verging on leaving Arsenal previously.

Arteta has a lot of choices in the center point of the recreation area yet Zinchenko giving a more defensive outlet would empower any semblance of Vieira and Martin Odegaard to vie for the going after midfielder job behind Gabriel Jesus.

 

It is conceivable yet far-fetched that Arteta would put Zinchenko on the left half of midfield or focus of safeguard except if squeezed into doing as such.
