Oleksandr Zinchenko has proven to be one of the signings of the season after he completed a £30million move from Manchester City to Arsenal last summer. The Ukraine international struggled with injury at the start of the season but is now enjoying a strong run of form in the Gunners starting lineup.
Zinchenko has proved to be a crucial figure in helping Mikel Arteta's side challenge City for the Premier League title this season. The 26-year-old joined Gabriel Jesus in swapping the Etihad Stadium for the Emirates Stadium after enjoying plenty of domestic success under Pep Guardiola.
Zinchenko's arrival came after Nuno Tavares was allowed to leave the club on loan until the end of the season, with Kieran Tierney dropping down the pecking order to become a back-up option at left-back. The Ukrainian defender will hope that he can help the north Londoners beat his former side to the Premier League title this season as we enter the final stretch of the season.

The 26-year-old's form for the Gunners saw him pick up the Player of the Month award once again with the Arsenal defender joking that his teammates will 'kill him' for it. Zinchenko said: "Hi guys, hope you're well, thank you for voting me as Player of the Month again.
"I know that my teammates are going to kill me because they think the people that are voting for me do not understand football. But forget about them!
"Let's push together until the very, very end. Come on, Gunners!"
The north London outfit turn their attention back to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon with a London derby against Fulham. The Cottagers will prove to be a difficult test for Arsenal, but Arteta's side have made a habit of hurdling obstacles thrown their way as they aim to maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table over City.
