Oleksandr Zinchenko is hoping he can help Arsenal win their first Premier League title since 2004. The Ukrainian defender had won four titles in five years at Manchester City before completing a £30million move to the Emirates Stadium last summer.
Zinchenko had struggled with injuries at the start of the season but is now enjoying a brilliant run of form in the starting XI under Mikel Arteta. The Ukraine international operates in an inverted left-back role, moving into midfield when the Gunners have possession to allow other teammates to press forward.
Zinchenko has been a revelation in defence for Arsenal and fans have taken him into their hearts due to his passion and talent. The north Londoners moved eight points clear of City at the top of the table with a 4-1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon - and fans absolutely loved what Zinchenko did after the game.
