Many people asked me about young players. Back when I was at Manchester City - my second or third season - Mikel Arteta asked me about Vladimir Shepelev.
I get asked, but I don't know how far it all goes, because the stage from talking to specifics is very long. There are a lot of talks, but it's a long way to the moment when the offer is on your desk," Zinchenko said on the air of Youtube channel Trendec.
