Mikel Arteta has reportedly promised Oleksandr Zinchenko the chance to play in midfield if he joins Arsenal instead of West Ham.
The 25-year-old is tipped to leave Manchester City after a successful spell under Pep Guardiola. He's won four Premier League titles, four EFL Cups, the FA Cup and Community Shield. He also started the Champions League final in May 2021, losing 1-0 to Chelsea.
Zinchenko is an attacking midfielder by trade and operates in the centre of the park for the Ukraine national team but usually plays at left-back under Guardiola. It is believed West Ham want to sign him to give Aaron Cresswell some competition on the left of defence - as well as boost their attacking options - but Arteta has a different plan.
