Gary Lineker has raved about Arsenal and Ukraine international star Oleksandr Zinchenko on Twitter.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker has said that Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is an important player for Arsenal and Ukraine, is an “exceptional” footballer.
Praise for Arsenal and Ukraine star Oleksandr Zinchenko
The Match of the Day presenter on BBC One has also noted how hard it must be for Zinchenko to live through what is happening in his country Ukraine.
Lineker made the comments about the £150,000-a-week (Spotrac) former Manchester City star ahead of the match between Ukraine and England on Saturday.
The European Championship Qualifying Group C match between Ukraine and England ended in a 1-1 draw.
Zinchenko, who can operate as a left-back or as a midfielder, scored for his national team in the 26th minute.
Oleksandr Zinchenko a big player for Arsenal and Ukraine
We believe that Oleksandr Zinchenko is one of the best players for Arsenal and Ukraine.
Zinchenko has become a leader for club and country in recent years.
While the 26-year-old did not always play regularly for Manchester City, he has established himself as one of the first names on the Arsenal teamsheet.
And he is a regular for Ukraine.
Zinchenko is only 26 now.
The best years of the Ukrainian star are ahead of him.
In our view, Zinchenko is going to get better and develop his game even further in the next few years.
Zinchenko has made 106 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The 26-year-old has scored one goal, provided nine assists, and kept 31 clean sheets in those games.
