It’s been just over a year since Oleksandr Zinchenko joined us from Manchester City, and the Ukrainian full-back is already firmly part of the Arsenal family.
He won back-to-back Arsenal Player of the Month awards in January and February, while his strike away to Aston Villa also won our Goal of the Month award. He played more than 30 times in his debut season, but pre-season so far has been disrupted by injury.
Our No35 is closing in on his return though, while also helping to organise Game4Ukraine – a fundraising match to support the relief effort in his home country that will take place this Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
