Three Premier League clubs battle to sign Oleksandr Zinchenko

Bengaluru,
June
23:
Manchester
City
left-back
Oleksandr
Zinchenko’s
time
at
Etihad
could
be
coming
to
an
end
this
summer
with
the
25-year-old
Ukraine
international
seeking
more
regular
minutes.

Zinchenko
has
been
somewhat
of
a
utility
man
under
Pep
Guardiola
but
never
has
managed
to
nail
down
a
regular
spot
in
the
team.
Featuring
as
a
left-back,
he
has
been
in
and
out
of
the
squad
since
making
his
debut
but
has
impressed
when
he
has
been
given
the
chance
by
manager
Pep
Guardiola.

Now
with
City
pursuing
another
left-back
from
the
market,
his
position
on
the
side
could
further
deteriorate.
As
a
result,
the
versatile
player
is
reportedly
seeking
a
new
challenge.
His
contract
lasts
until
June
2024
but
City
reportedly
will
not
stand
in
his
way
if
their
asking
price
is
met.

Considering
everything,
he
could
secure
an
exit
this
summer
and
these
three
sides
are
believed
to
have
already
shown
an
interest:


Everton

Everton
escaped
relegation
by
the
skin
of
their
teeth
last
season
and
Lampard
is
making
all
the
efforts
to
make
a
significant
improvement
ahead
of
next
season.
The
English
manager
is
seeking
better
options
in
the
market
and
as
per
rumours,
they
have
been
alerted
by
the
City
star’s
availability.

The
Toffee
boss
however
views
Zinchenko
as
a
midfielder
rather
than
a
left-back
moving
forward.
The
25-year-old
has
been
a
star
while
playing
in
midfield
for
Ukraine
and
Lampard
is
reportedly
looking
to
hand
him
that
role.
The
player
reportedly
is
also
looking
to
kickstart
his
career
once
again
in
the
same
position
hence
Everton’s
approach
could
tempt
the
player.


West
Ham
United

David
Moyes
is
also
reportedly
keeping
a
close
eye
on
the
development
and
one
of
the
clubs
showing
interest
in
him.
The
Hammers
although
are
packed
in
the
midfield
with
Declan
Rice
and
Tomas
Soucek
occupying
the
midfield
roles.
However,
they
don’t
have
an
adequate
backup.
Zinchencko
in
that
case
could
not
only
serve
as
a
deputy
in
that
position
but
also
could
be
a
long-term
replacement
for
32-year-old
Aaron
Cresswell.


Arsenal

Mikel
Arteta
is
a
big
admirer
of
the
versatile
player
and
has
been
chasing
him
since
last
season.
The
Spanish
tactician
is
looking
to
build
on
last
season’s
fifth-place
finish
and
is
seeking
more
quality
from
the
market.
Adding
more
midfielders
is
a
big
priority
for
the
Gunners
and
Arteta
reportedly
sees
Zinchencko
as
a
midfielder.
Considering
Granit
Xhaka’s
unsettled
future,
a
move
for
the
City
player
could
well
be
on
the
cards.
