Oleksandr Zinchenko has dazzled in Arsenal training as Mikel Arteta put his players through the ‘keepy-uppie’ challenge at London Colney.
It has been a pretty much perfect start to the season for Arsenal, who have two wins from two Premier League games just like Manchester City.
A 2-0 win at Crystal Palace has been followed up by a 4-2 victory over Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
Arsenal’s summer business looks very impressive and Gabriel Jesus is already making a huge impact after his move from City.
Jesus has been joined in North London by former City teammate Zinchenko, who has now dazzled in training.
Oleksandr Zinchenko has dazzled in Arsenal training
Arteta has been putting his players through their paces ahead of this weekend’s game against Bournemouth, with Arsenal chasing another win.
Yet whilst serious work will have been done this week, there has also been an opportunity for some fun.
Arteta lined his players up with the task of performing keepy-uppies across the field; if the ball hit the ground, you had to go back to the start.
Arsenal posted up a video of this exercise on Twitter, and it was hard not to notice Zinchenko’s display.
Zinchenko showed incredible speed whilst keeping the ball in the air, blazing past his teammates as if it was nothing.
We have heard so much about Zinchenko’s technical ability and this was another incredible showing of it, even if it was only a bit of fun.
The balance, the speed, the technique and outstanding left foot were all on show as Zinchenko zoomed past the rest of the Arsenal squad.
Goalkeeper Matt Turner and defender Gabriel Magalhaes had problems though, with the Brazilian seemingly coming in dead last.
Zinchenko is fast becoming a fan favourite and this training display will only add to that.
