London –
Arsenal moved quickly to find a replacement for the failed Lisandro Martinez. The Gunners are now approaching defender Manchester City Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Martinez was initially close to Arsenal and they are ready to pay according to Ajax Amsterdam’s request, which is 50 million euros plus bonuses. However, Manchester United then approached.
Considering that Manchester United was trained by Erik ten Hag, who had worked together at Ajax, Martinez was leaning towards it. Even a transfer agreement is said to have been reached and it remains only to complete the move.

Therefore, Arsenal did not want to lament for long their failure to bring in the Argentine defender. They turned their prey to City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Edu Gaspar as Arsenal’s Director of Sport immediately contacted City about the possibility of signing Zinchenko. City did not mind releasing Zinchenko as long as the price was right.
It is not yet known how many figures are offered, but Mikel Arteta’s closeness as Arsenal manager with Zinchenko is expected to smooth out a deal with Manchester City.
Arsenal’s interest in Zinchenko is not without reason given the Ukrainiani’s versatility, both as a left-back and a midfielder. Arteta needs his energy to navigate the four competitions next season. Moreover, Kieran Tierney, who is relied upon at left-back post, is prone to injury.
If Oleksandr Zinchenko who has won four Premier League titles has moved, then he will be reunited with Gabriel Jesus who is a former teammate at Manchester City. So quoted The Athletic.
