Zinchenko a fringe player at ArsenalLinked with Emirates transfer exitRejected by three Serie A sidesFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
TuttoJuve claim that Arsenal have offered Zinchenko to Lazio, Juventus, and AC Milan and all three have reportedly turned their nose up at signing the Ukraine international. This is despite the Gunners wanting just €10-15 million (£8.5m-£12.7m) for the 28-year-old's services.

Zinchenko swapped Manchester City for Arsenal in 2022 in a deal worth up to £32 million ($43m) but he is very much a fringe player at the club these days. Other reports suggest Milan are interested in the defender, who is unlikely to have much of a future at the Emirates as Myles Lewis-Skelly has made the left-back spot his own.
DID YOU KNOW?
Zinchenko, whose contract at Arsenal runs until 2026, made just 15 appearances for Mikel Arteta's men in the Premier League this season. And of those, just five were starts. He notched 23 appearances in total in all competitions.

Aside from speculation about Zinchenko's future at Arsenal, his Ukraine side take on New Zealand in a friendly fixture on Tuesday night. After that encounter, the versatile player will head off on his summer break.
