Charles Jones, a journalist for the popular British publication TBR, is convinced that Arsenal's Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, who lost his place in the main squad at the end of the season, is still a quality performer.
- Yes, Oleksandr Zinchenko hasn't played much for Arsenal recently, but make no mistake: he is still a quality player.
Technically, he is on par with the best players at the Emirates, but unfortunately, due to his lack of fitness and defensive sense, it's hard to justify tying him to the left-back position. Especially since Zinchenko has proven himself well as a midfielder, and perhaps this is where he could be best utilised in this team in the future.
Although the Ukrainian has had to spend some time on the bench this season, his return to the starting line-up will come as no surprise. Zinchenko remains one of Arsenal's most talented players," the journalist wrote.
