The signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko might possibly be one of the smartest deals the club could have made this summer. Competitors, no back-ups.
This was my feeling toward every player Arsenal needed to sign for the senior squad. Whether it was someone to go alongside Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Tierney, Martin Odegaard or Thomas Partey, whoever came in needed to be as good as if not better than the existing starters.
Turner is coming to compete with Ramsdale, and Fabio Vieira will push Odegaard to be his best or lose his place. Zinchenko has shown time after time his quality at left-back and will battle with Tierney for a starting spot.
