"With Zinchenko on the field the probability of our victory is incredibly high. That's it. He is an exceptional player who gives a lot to Arsenal and we are happy to have him.

Alex makes us more dominant. Everything plays a role here: the way he moves the ball and the way he defends. Another of his strengths is his intuitiveness, he is not afraid to play boldly, making unexpected decisions for the opponent. In whatever capacity you use Zinchenko, he will always be focused on the ball. He wants to play, he wants to use any opportunity to damage the opponent. And I like that in him.

Zinchenko in our locker room? He also makes a huge contribution. Alex can change the energy in the locker room in an instant. He has a special sense of humour. And he communicates with people in a special way. I've known him for years. Such people are needed in the locker room, that's for sure," Arteta said during his regular press conference.
