Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta commented on reports that Manchester City player Oleksandr Zinchenko has joined the Gunners in the United States.
“Yes, as you saw, he is here in the USA. There are a few more formalities required to complete everything, but we are glad that we have it. I know this player very well, he is an exceptional player and he will also bring another competitive advantage to our dressing room.
He can play both in midfield and as a left back. He was a typical number 10 at the beginning of his career, and we turned him into a left back who can do a lot of what we want from our style of play.
Versatility is something that will be important for the team because we have players in this position who are more specific full-backs, so I'm very happy," Arteta said.
