Despite all the media publications, during the winter transfer window London’s «Arsenal» did not receive a single official offer for their Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, reports chief football reporter of the authoritative publication Daily Mail Sam Mustoe.
Oleksandr ZinchenkoLet us remind you, interest in the 28-year-old player was shown by Dortmund’s «Borussia» and Madrid’s «Atletico». But, as the British press wrote, the German club wanted to loan Zinchenko, which did not suit «Arsenal», and the « mattress makers » were not ready to meet the financial demands of the «Gunners» for the transfer of the Ukrainian ( «Arsenal» was reportedly ready to let Zinchenko go for 20 million euros, but «Atletico» offered only 10 million euros, plus 5 million euros in bonuses).
Be that as it may, Zinchenko will most likely be 'polishing' the bench of «Arsenal» until the summer transfer window, as during the current season he has lost competition for his position and is now only fourth in the hierarchy — after Riccardo Calafiori, Jurriën Timber, and Miles Lewis-Skelly. The Ukrainian has been on the bench for the last four matches of «Arsenal». In total, he has appeared on the field only 13 times this season.
