Arsenal transfer news: Oleksandr Zinchenko breakthrough as final fee agreed | Football | Sport
He started just 10 Premier League games last season, although he did play a pivotal role in helping City beat Liverpool to the title in dramatic fashion. City were 2-0 down against Aston Villa with just 20 minutes remaining before Ilkay Gundogan halved the deficit.
Just a couple minutes later and Zinchenko delivered the cross for Rodri to equalise before Gundogan scored the winner soon after. Zinchenko’s move to Arsenal will also likely open the door for City to push ahead with signing Marc Cucurella from Brighton.
The Seagulls are said to be demanding up to £50m for the Spanish full-back, who impressed in his debut campaign on the south coast last season. Brighton paid just £15.4m for the defender 12 months ago, but City have so far been reluctant to meet their demands.
