Oleksandr Zinchenko is wanted by premier league clubs and some European giants with Arsenal reportedly ready to entertain offers.

The Gunners acquired Zinchenko from rivals Manchester City just last season, and he commenced his stint at the Emirates Stadium impressively.

However, his second year under Mikel Arteta has been somewhat less convincing, marked by struggles with both fitness and form. According to Football Transfers, Arsenal appears open to offloading him for approximately €45 million this summer.

Clubs interested in the signature of €45m valued Ukrainian left back.

The report suggests that Newcastle United may be interested in retaining Zinchenko within the Premier League, while Bayern Munich could also express interest from overseas.

Zinchenko’s potential departure poses a risk for Arsenal, as many fans would likely prefer him to remain at the club despite occasional defensive lapses. His unique contributions as an inverted full-back are difficult to replace, given his exceptional intelligence on the pitch, technical prowess, and quality passing.

However, some Arsenal supporters argue that the team has adapted well defensively during his absence, with Jakub Kiwior performing capably in the left-back role.

Other top clubs may find Zinchenko an appealing option, particularly Bayern, who face uncertainty with Alphonso Davies approaching the final year of his contract.
