The Athletic journalist David Ornstein is reporting this evening that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have reached an agreement in principle with Manchester City star Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The report has claimed that Arsenal have agreed a four-year contract with Zinchenko, who can operate as a left-back or in midfield, “in principle”.
The Gunners had already reached an agreement of £30 million + £2 million in achievable add-ons with Premier League champions Manchester City.
The report, written by David Ornstein in The Athletic, adds that “if all goes to plan, Zinchenko will leave City’s pre-season tour to undergo a medical and sign for the North London club”.
Ornstein wrote in The Athletic: “Arsenal are in the process of finalising a move for Oleksandr Zinchenko after reaching an agreement in principle with the 25-year-old on a four-year contract, The Athletic understands.
“Having already had an offer, believed to be £30 million + £2 million in achievable add-ons, accepted by their Premier League counterparts, Arsenal now also have personal terms in place with the Ukraine international.
“If all goes to plan, Zinchenko will leave City’s pre-season tour to undergo a medical and sign for the North London club.”
Exciting Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal update
It seems that it is only a matter of time before Arsenal complete the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Premier League champions Manchester City.
If the Gunners have an agreement in place on personal terms with the 25-year-old, then we do not see any problems in getting the deal done.
We do not anticipate any issues with the medical either, as the Ukraine international is fit and healthy.
Zinchenko is only 25, and his best years are ahead of him.
Arsenal are about to make a very exciting signing in Zinchenko.
