Oleksandr Zinchenko Transfer News

Borussia Dortmund sits pretty close to Oleksandr Zinchenko potential transfer according to media reports that hope to close his dismal Arsenal season.

When the Gunners acquired Zinchenko as a £30 million signing from Manchester City in July 2022 his addition helped turn Arsenal into a legitimate Premier League title challenger.

Oleksandr Zinchenko has faced limited opportunities this season while Calafiori surged ahead of him in the team’s starting eleven.

The 28-year-old has started just four matches while playing in 13 overall games. The injury absence of Calafiori and Lewis-Skelly has expedited Arsenal management’s desire to let Zinchenko find a new team.

Arsenal expects Oleksandr Zinchenko to exit before the deadline, per The Telegraph, while Borussia Dortmund leads as their preferred candid, ate, according to the publication.

Internationally successful team Borussia Dortmund targets left-back Zinchenko as their priority signing. The Bundesliga club Dortmund desires Zinchenko as their number one priority after they revealed interest in Chelsea’s Chilwell as a backup option.

The agreement between Dortmund and Zinchenko appears promising, as Dortmund finalizes the deal for his services.

Mikel Arteta shows confidence through his statement that the left-back spot will get solid backup when Kieran Lewis-Skelly recovers from his calf injury.

Yet the Ukrainian is still well-liked by everyone from coaches to teammates. The recent squad addition of Calafiori, along with his bench spot against Zagreb, shows Arsenal are open to Zinchenko’s exit.

Dortmund presents Zinchenko with a fresh start to recover his playing form since his unsettled experience at Emirates Stadium. The entire football world will watch during the coming transfer deadline period to see if Dortmund will present an official bid to sign the veteran defender for their Bundesliga team.
