Arsenal are now discussing personal terms with Oleksandr Zinchenko, with manager Mikel Arteta determined to sign the Manchester City star as soon as possible in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported on Twitter tonight that Arsenal have opened talks over personal terms with Zinchenko, who can operate as a left-back and in midfield.
Romano has added that talks are “progressing well”, adding that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants the deal sorted as soon as possible.
The Daily Mail reported earlier today that Arsenal hope to get a deal done for the Ukraine international for £35 million in the coming days.

Exciting update
It seems that it is only a matter of time before Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko becomes an Arsenal player.
That Arsenal are discussing personal terms with the 25-year-old suggests that they are confident of convincing Premier League rivals Manchester City to part with the Ukrainian.
Zinchenko can play in two positions, and that is going to be a boon for Arsenal and their manager Mikel Arteta.
Zinchenko, who has won the Premier League four times with City, made 10 starts and five substitute appearances in the league last season, providing four assists in the process.
