Premier League trio Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham and Newcastle United have all been linked with Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Oleksandr Zinchenko looks to be closer than ever to a departure from Manchester City this summer.
The 21-year-old made great strides in 2017/18 as Pep Guardiola’s side romped to the Premier League title, being converted from an attacking midfielder to a roving left-back with great effect.
But Zinchenko still found game time hard to come by and made just six starts in England’s top flight. And with interest from elsewhere, Sky Sports is claiming that the Ukrainian international is expected to leave The Etihad this summer.
Wolves had looked like Zinchenko’s most likely destination after tabling a club-record £16 million bid last month. But, since then, both Newcastle United and Fulham have joined the race, as reported respectively by The Star and The Telegraph.
But the bookies believe that Wolves are still in pole position to land the former PSV Eindhoven loanee.
Ladbrokes have offered a price of 4/7 for Zinchenko to be Wolves’ next signing. Fulham and Newcastle, the bookmakers believe, are closer to landing Aleksandar Mitrovic and Salomon Rondon.
Should Wolves win the race, the 17-cap international would give Nuno Espirito Santo’s side extra depth at left-back, where only Barry Douglas can really be considered a first-team regular.
