Manchester City star Oleksandr Zinchenko is closing in on a move to Arsenal which will reunite him with Mikel Arteta and Gabriel Jesus.
Brazilian forward Jesus swapped the Etihad for the Emirates earlier this summer and now the versatile Ukrainian is expected to follow suit in a £30million deal. Zinchenko, 25, wants to play as a central midfielder - something which rarely occurs at City - and Arteta is keen to add another player in this position.
Pep Guardiola has largely used him as a full-back but the player has different ambitions and is backing his former assistant coach to give him the opportunities he craves. He is joining an Arsenal side which narrowly missed out on the top four last term but have invested heavily this summer as they look to rejoin the Champions League table.
