Mikel Arteta has moved to Ukrainian to the Emirates Stadium in a deal worth around £30 million. Zinchenko played at both left back and midfield and worked with Arteta at City.
A transfer would mark the second time this summer Arsenal have had to deal with City, following a £45m deal for Gabriel Jesus, and talkSPORT’s Darren Ambrose believes it could be any club’s best business.
He said: “I think this could be one of the signings of the summer and I hate to say that because I am a Spurs supporter. [Kieran] Tierney has problems with injuries so he has more than enough cover but I think he will move to midfield and I think it will improve Arsenal’s midfield.
“If you look at him for Ukraine, he plays in midfield, he gives you that bite, he’s also clearly a leader, he clearly has a good character. Mikel Arteta knows him from Manchester City so they have a good relationship, Gabriel Jesus is already here.
“City and Arsenal now have that relationship. City are not worried about Arsenal at the moment, so they send them players for half-decent prices as well. [For] £30million in the current climate is a good price for a player who I believe will go straight to the Arsenal first team.”
