Oleksandr Zinchenko breaks silence on Mykhailo Mudryk Arsenal snub ahead of England vs Ukraine

Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko has told his fellow Ukraine international Mykhailo Mudryk he only has one option after sealing a January transfer to Chelsea. Throughout the build up to the winter window window, talk of the 22-year-old joining Arsenal ramped up significantly, but the Blues completed a major transfer hijack which saw them sign Mudryk instead.

Edu and Mikel Arteta were then forced to look for an alternative with just under two weeks of the trading period left. Marcus Thuram and Raphinha were floated as options, but the Gunners opted to sign Leandro Trossard from Brighton and it is a decision that is proving to be the correct one.

The Belgian international has scored one goal and contributed six assists since his winter switch, while Mudryk has managed just one assist, which came in the 3-1 victory over Leicester.
