Atletico Madrid on the Verge of Signing Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko

soccer news

As the transfer window winds down, clubs are racing against time to finalize deals. One move that may happen before its close is Oleksandr Zinchenko potentially switching allegiance. Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have expressed interest in signing Zinchenko from Arsenal; his contract only has 18 months left with them.

Zinchenko May Depart Arsenal, Arteta Signals

Oleksandr Zinchenko joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022 but could soon find himself back on the move again. Though an integral member of Mikel Arteta’s setup, Myles Lewis-Skelly’s rise as well as Riccardo Calafiori being present as another left-back option indicate Arsenal is open to considering offers for Zinchenko; Kieran Tierney remaining at Arsenal until summer cements this policy further.

Arteta Has Options to Consider for Left-Back Position

Zinchenko has found his opportunities limited this season, totalling only 408 minutes across all competitions. Due to this shortcoming in playtime for him personally, seeking out regular playing time elsewhere might be his best course of action.

Time is ticking away for Zinchenko as the transfer window draws to its close, giving him only limited opportunities to find an ideal move that meets his aspirations. Yet mutual agreement on an arrangement offers hope of an amicable resolution being found soon enough.
