Manchester City are looking at left-back alternatives as Oleksandr Zinchenko has agreed to join Arsenal. Zinchenko has agreed personal terms with Arsenal with a fee of around £30m agreed plus £2m of add-ons.

The 25-year-old will follow Gabriel Jesus to the Emirates this summer to reunite with former City assistant Mikel Arteta. City will now look to sign a new option at full-back, with Brighton's Marc Cucurella being a name that has been mentioned throughout the summer.

However, Brighton have no need to sell the Spaniard, and his asking price may be more than City's valuation.

The Croatia international, 24, played 24 times last season, scoring twice and providing nine assists. Before news of Zinchenko's move, Arteta was asked about him on Monday, saying: "There is no update with anybody, when there is any updates we'll let you know.
