Arsenal's £32m signing 'expected' to leave for just £10m with three clubs keen

Arsenal have an important couple of months ahead of them on the transfer front. They are preparing for the new Premier League season and have some work to do. The Gunners have the chance to bring in some new faces to boost their squad.

They also have the oppportunity to let some players head out the exit door at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta’s side will be aiming to win the title next term. They fell short again in the last campaign behind Liverpool.

Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko poised to leave

Arsenal are ‘expected’ to part ways with Oleksandr Zinchenko amid interest from elsewhere, according to CaughtOffside. The report suggests he may be allowed to leave for just £10million. Juventus, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund have been mentioned as potential suitors.

Zinchenko, 28, was snapped up by the Gunners back in 2022. He was brought in by the London outfit to bolster their ranks and give them another option to pick from. The Ukraine international, who has made 73 caps for his country, has since made 91 appearances in all competitions.

The ex-Shakhtar Donetsk youngster moved to England in 2016 when Manchester City came calling. He then spent six years on the books at the Etihad Stadium, some of which he spent away on loan at PSV to boost his development. He played 128 matches for City under the guidance of Pep Guardiola and found the net on two occasions, winning the league, FA Cup and Carabao Cup along the way.

What now for Oleksandr Zinchenko at Arsenal?

Zinchenko’s has fallen out of favour at Arsenal so an exit would suit all parties involved. The Gunners can get him off their books to free up space and funds. Meanwhile, the player can go and get regular game time somewhere else.

He joined his current club for £32million three years ago. At the time, Arteta said: "We're so happy Alex has joined us. He's a player that I personally know really well and continued to follow him after my time at Manchester City. Alex is a high quality player who will give us options and versatility. It's not only about the positions he can play but as well, the versatility he will give us in attack and defence. Alex is a person with great human qualities and character, and I'm delighted that everyone has made this huge effort to bring Alex to the club."

Meanwhile, Guardiola said: "Like Gabriel [Jesus] and Raheem [Sterling], the impact of those three players in the years I am here has been massive. So we are going to miss them. They are exceptional players but, for different circumstances, they move on. Chelsea and Arsenal are two incredible clubs and the success and happiness they will have there will be ours.

"For myself and I think on behalf of the club, our gratitude for their effort and the way they behave on and off the pitch. It was nice yesterday with Oleks because we could say 'bye' properly. Unfortunately with Raheem and Gabriel we could not do it because it was the summertime, but yesterday at dinner together we could say 'bye' to him."
