Arsenal have turned their attention to Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko after missing out on Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez to Manchester United.
The Gunners were interested in Martinez because of his ability to play multiple positions, namely central defence, left-back and defensive midfield. Mikel Arteta has problems on the left of the back four, with Kieran Tierney’s battles against injury causing issues in the previous campaign. Add to that the lack of left-sided centre-back options beyond Gabriel and it’s an area that needs addressing.
However, Erik ten Hag's plan to play the 24-year-old in his more natural centre-back position is why the Red Devils are the Argentine's preferred destination.
