Oleksandr Zinchenko admits he knew Mikel Arteta would be a "very good manager" from their first encounter at Manchester City.

Zinchenko, 25, completed his £32million move from Man City to Arsenal on Friday evening. The Ukraine international has signed a long-term deal at the Emirates and is expected to be involved in the team's friendly against Chelsea in Florida this weekend.

Arteta and Zinchenko worked with each other at Man City during the Spaniard's time as Pep Guardiola's assistant between July 2016 and December 2019. He left the Etihad to become Arsenal manager and is aiming to lead the club back into the Champions League.
