'I hear it all the time': Manchester City starlet Oleksandr Zinchenko reveals fans mistake him for Kevin De Bruyne

Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko has revealed that he often gets mistaken for his team-mate Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne is firmly established as one of the Premier League's standout performers but many fans often mistake Zinchenko, who can play as a left-back or a central midfielder, for the Belgian.

Zinchenko, who will be hoping to start for City against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, joked that he is better looking than De Bruyne.
