Announcing the signing in a statement on Friday, Arsenal said Zinchenko “brings huge experience of the Premier League and international football to our squad.”
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta described Zinchenko as “a high-quality player who will give us options and versatility. It’s not only about the positions he can play but as well, the versatility he will give us in attack and defence.”
