Arsenal are expected to complete the signing of Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko after the club reportedly struck a £30million deal with the Premier League champions.
Mikel Arteta is said to be a huge admirer of the Ukrainian, with his ability to play a variety of positions including left-back and central midfield a hugely attractive trait for the Arsenal boss. City are open to selling the 25-year-old, and hope to land exciting Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella as his replacement.
Brighton understandably don’t want to lose Cucurella and he has four years remaining on his current deal, meaning it’d take a substantial offer to land his signature. However, Zinchenko’s sale could recoup some of that potential fee.
