Oleksandr Zinchenko appears to be moving closer to sealing a transfer to Arsenal this summer. It comes after the Gunners agreed a £30million fee with Manchester City for the 25-year-old.
Talks for the versatile defender accelerated after Mikel Arteta's side failed to progress in a deal with Ajax for Lisandro Martinez. The Argentina international, who can play at left-back, centre-back and in the midfield, instead opted for a switch to Premier League rivals Manchester United.
Zinchenko offers versatility too, playing at both left-back and central midfield when called upon. Squad depth and quality were issues in both positions for the Gunners last season as they fell just short of a top four finish.
