Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko has linked his move to leave the club at the end of the season, with Borussia Dortmund eager to secure his signature.
The 28-year-old left-back struggles with regular game times this season, with Miles Lewis Skelly currently ahead of him in packing order. According to football insiders, Dortmund is a long-term adorable Ukrainian defender and is ready to sign him in the summer.
The player had badly linked to the exit from Arsenal in January, but he stayed. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal is ready to cash him at the end of the season. They need to bring in another left back to replace him.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old has demonstrated his quality in the Premier League at Manchester City and Arsenal. He has the quality to do well in the Bundesliga, and he will try to establish himself as a key player for Dortmund if a transfer is made.
Oleksandr Zinchenko opens to leave
The report further claims that the defender is open to an exit from Arsenal at the end of the season. It is still unknown how the situation will develop. Zinchenko has been featured in just 17 matches in all competitions, and players of his quality need to play more frequently.
The transition to Germany could be ideal for him at this stage of his career, allowing him to establish himself as a key player in Dortmund. The defender is at the peak of his career, and he is hoping to hit the ground running in the Bundesliga.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta previously described him as a “perfectionist,” and there’s no doubt that he’s a useful option for gunners.
