Arsenal fullback Oleksandr Zinchenko has admitted that Mikel Arteta was the only Premier League manager he wanted to play under after deciding to leave Manchester City last summer.
The Ukrainian international won four league titles during his time at City, two of which when Arteta was Pep Guardiola's assistant coach at the Etihad Stadium. However, Arteta wanted to manage a team of his own, eventually becoming Gunners boss back in December 2019 before prising Zinchenko away from the Citizens last summer.
The 26-year-old's first season in north London has been a huge success, helping his side build up an eight-point gap at the top of the table, albeit City in second place do have a game in hand on their title rivals. Now, Zinchenko has spoken extremely highly of Arteta, praising the Spaniard's desire to win as one of his greatest attributes
