Arsenal make Oleksandr Zinchenko transfer decision after Bayern Munich twist – sources
Arsenal have no plans to sell left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko in the summer transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Zinchenko, 27, had been a key man for Mikel Arteta but has recently lost his place in the Gunners side due to injury.
Jakub Kiwior has impressed for Arsenal in the absence of the Ukraine international, who returned to action from the bench against Brentford on Saturday (9 March).
Kiwior, 24, has started each of the Gunners’ last five games – all of which have ended in victory.
Zinchenko has recently been linked with the likes of Newcastle and Bayern Munich.
Arsenal make up their minds on Oleksandr Zinchenko’s future
However, a well-placed source has told Football Insider that Arsenal are in “no rush” to accept offers for the ex-Man City star.
It is believed he remains a key man for Arteta and is a big personality in the dressing room at the Emirates Stadium.
His status as a serial winner is also valued highly by the Spaniard and his coaching staff.
Zinchenko has made 28 appearances across all competitions in the 2023-24 campaign, notching one goal and two assists.
He joined from Man City in 2022 for a reported £32million, signing a contract which runs until June 2026.
The defender has made 61 appearances across all competitions in his Gunners career thus far.
Arsenal are next in action in the Champions League against Porto on Tuesday (12 March).
