Oleksandr Zinchenko has admitted he broke down when Mikel Arteta left Manchester City to take on the role of Arsenal manager in December 2019.
Zinchenko has been nothing short of remarkable since making the move from City to Arsenal last summer and that is in large part due to Gunners boss Arteta. The Spaniard made the same move three years prior, in late 2019, when Arteta left his post as Pep Guardiola's assistant to take the reins at the Emirates.
It has since emerged that Zinchenko and Arteta struck up quite the relationship while the pair were at the Etihad together, with the former conceding he could barely contain his emotion after he found out the latter was taking on a new challenge away from Manchester.
