Arsenal ‘considering move’ for Man City star Zinchenko – Arteta ‘may view him as midfielder’

Arsenal are ‘considering a move’ for Manchester City utility man Oleksandr Zinchenko, according to reports.

The Ukrainian has been utilised as a left-back by Pep Guardiola but is a midfielder by trade.

He came off the bench during Sunday’s Premier League title-clinching victory over Aston Villa and helped his side come from two goals down.

Arsenal have been linked with three City players – Ilkay Gundogan, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus – ahead of the summer transfer window. The trio are all out of contract in 2023.

A fourth player has been added to the mix, with Daily Mail journalist Jack Gaughan claiming that the Gunners are ‘considering a move’ for Zinchenko.

Arsenal are considering a move for Oleksandr Zinchenko. Interesting to see if a bid is forthcoming and then whether Zinchenko wants a move away from Man City. Sounds like Arteta may view him as a midfielder.

Minutes are hard to come by for the 25-year-old, so a move to the Emirates could be tempting.

Gaughan adds that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta ‘may view him as a midfielder’ – which could be another selling point for Zinchenko.

No bid has been made yet, with the player’s stance unclear. He is out of contract in two years and started 18 times
