Kevin Campbell has claimed that Arsenal transfer target Oleksandr Zinchenko is a ‘really good player’.
The former striker added that someone like Zinchenko, if he were to sign for Arsenal from Manchester City, could play at left-back as well as in the middle of the park.
On the domestic stage, the 25-year-old is deployed at left-back under Manchester City where he can tuck into midfield.
But, on the international stage, for Ukraine, he has played in the middle of the park and he did so during their recent international matches.
Either way, when discussing possible transfers, Campbell backed the idea of Arsenal signing Zinchenko, as he told the Highbury Squad.
“If you added a Zinchenko,” said Campbell. “Seeing him in midfield. You see what a really good technician he is.
“He’s a really good player. But he could play left-back, as well as play in midfield.”
ZINCHENKO SHOULD STAY AT MANCHESTER CITY
Someone like Zinchenko is still an important player under Guardiola and he is used in big games by the multiple title-winning manager.
Unless he absolutely craves regular minutes, week in and week out, then he is probably better off staying at the Etihad.
Plus, with the Gunners unable to offer Champions League football, then it does make their life in trying to bring in the top talents pretty difficult.
And somebody like Zinchenko certainly falls into that category, that’s for sure.
