Oleksandr Zinchenko admits he's thrilled he doesn't have to face Arsenal legend Tony Adams.
The former Gunners defender is regarded as one of the finest centre-halves of his generation and among the best to play in the Premier League. He led Arsenal to league titles and cups whilst also being a key figure with England during the 1990s.
Adams called time on his career back in 2002 and Zinchenko's compatriot Andriy Shevchenko previously told him that the Arsenal great was the hardest defender he ever came up against. The 26-year-old has now met and chatted with Adams and is happy they won't have to compete on the pitch.
