EDGING CLOSER TO THE EMIRATES
Oleksandr Zinchenko is edging closer to a move to Arsenal after they agreed a fee for his services with Manchester City, according to reports.
The Ukraine international joined City from Ufa in 2016 for £1.7m and made his debut in October 2017 after spending a year out on loan at Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven. Since then he has been building up his appearances every season but they took a dip last campaign as he only played in 15 Premier League matches.
Of those 15 games, only ten were starts and now the 25-year-old is looking for regular first-team football with a move to Arsenal on the cards. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims today that Arsenal and Man City ‘have now reached verbal agreement in principle’ for Zinchenko.
He announces that the fee will be ‘around £30m’ with personal terms still being ‘discussed’. The ‘salary and length of contract’ is understood to be the next ‘key step to complete the agreement’.
