Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal transfer moves a step closer as Man City eye £45m replacement

Arsenal's transfer pursuit of Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko has moved a step closer to completion after Pep Guardiola made a bold £45million move to secure the Ukrainian's replacement.

The Gunners have only signed Brazilian youngster Marquinhos so far but are expected to explode into life into this summer's transfer window as evidenced by the latest developments on Gabriel Jesus- a striker who is set to leave east Manchester after the double capture of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez by the current Premier League Champions.

However, this isn't the only significant business that the north Londoners are expected to do as Mikel Arteta aims to right the wrongs of last season by trying to achieve a top-four place. This is because a new full-back and midfielder are high on the transfer agenda. Youri Tielemans is the main target for the central midfield role with the Belgian reportedly in favour of a new challenge away from the east Midlands this summer.
