Oleksandr Zinchenko breaks silence on Kyle Walker incident after Man City beat Arsenal

Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko wants to get "revenge" on his former Manchester City team-mates who teased him after the two sides' FA Cup clash in January.

City ran out 1-0 winners in a drab fourth-round affair which marked Zinchenko's first meeting with his old pals since leaving Manchester last summer in a £30million transfer deal. The Ukrainian defender, 26, spent five full seasons with the Citizens and was somewhat awkwardly reunited with his ex-team-mates at the Etihad Stadium, most notably Kyle Walker.

Post-match, a jubilant Walker greeted the disappointed Zinchenko with a huge grin and promptly gave him a bear hug. Being so soon after a defeat, the Arsenal left-back was visibly annoyed with Walker and lost his cool before calming down alongside more of his former team-mates. Now Zinchenko has shed light on the situation, making it clear that it was all fun and games ahead of the Gunners' second clash with City next Wednesday.
