Big signing for the Gunners
In our view, Oleksandr Zinchenko is a very good and exciting signing for Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
The Ukrainian is very experienced who won Premier League titles and played in the UEFA Champions League with City.
The 25-year-old worked with Arteta when the Arsenal boss was the assistant manager at City, which suggests that the two will have no problem in working together at Arsenal.
Zinchenko is only 25 and will improve and develop in the coming years.
The versatility of Zinchenko to play at left-back or in midfield means that Arsenal have essentially signed two players for the price of one.
We think that Arsenal have signed a real gem in Zinchenko.
