Mikel Arteta and Arsenal transfer chief Edu have expressed their delight at the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City. The 25-year-old, who has penned a long-term contract at the Emirates Stadium, is the Gunners' fifth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Marquinhos, Matt Turner, Fabio Vieira and Gabriel Jesus.
The Ukraine international's move to north London follows Arteta's mission to undergo an overhaul this summer as the north Londoners plot a push for Champions League qualification. With the Spaniard finally landing the transfer, it's fair to say that everyone involved at the club are very happy to welcome Zinchenko to London Colney.
Speaking to the official website, technical director Edu said: "I'm very pleased to see how we're working as a team here in the club. We put a plan together early and Oleksandr Zinchenko was a main focus on our list. We’re pleased to have Alex with us now because he has the attributes which I’m sure are going to put our squad at a different level."
