The sporting director of the London Arsenal, Food Gaspar, commented on the acquisition by his club of the Ukrainian midfielder Manchester City Oleksandr Zinchenko.
“The transfer of Zinchenko was planned six months ago in order to maximize the position to which we eventually took him.
We are very happy that Zinchenko is with us, because he is the performer that we really aimed at. This is a player that we truly believe has the characteristics and qualities that will surely elevate our team.
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal head coach - ed.), of course, knows Zinchenko more than anyone, because they worked together at Manchester City, but even without that, all the information about the footballer speaks of his high level. Moreover, it is not only about his qualities as a footballer, but also about his qualities as a person. It is very important for us that there is a player like Zinchenko in Arsenal, ”Sky Sports quoted Gaspard as saying.
