Fulham sound out summer move for Oleksandr Zinchenko
Marco Silva’s Fulham have made an enquiry about the availability of Arsenal utility man Oleksandr Zinchenko ahead of a potential move.
According to a report from GiveMeSport, Fulham are interested in acquiring the services of Oleksandr Zinchenko, and they have approached Arsenal to learn more about a potential transfer. While signing a full-back is not a top priority for the Cottagers, they are currently in talks with the Ukrainian international’s camp.
Fulham have worked hard to convince Marco Silva to continue at the club amidst interest from the Middle East, and now they are looking to ensure he has enough quality in his squad to help them take the next step. While they haven’t made any significant moves in this window, they are set to ramp up their efforts in the coming weeks.
They are eyeing a move for Arsenal’s Zinchenko, who has fallen down the pecking order at the North London club following the arrival of Riccardo Calafiori and the emergence of Myles Lewis-Skelly. While he still has a year left on his deal, the Ukrainian full-back is no longer an important part of Mikel Arteta’s plans.
Fulham are in talks to sign Zinchenko
As a result, the Gunners are open to sanctioning his departure. Fulham are well aware of his situation and have already made an enquiry to learn more about a potential transfer. The Cottagers have been in talks with the player’s camp over a potential transfer.
The talks have been ongoing since early June, and they are now considering making a formal offer in the near future. Arsenal value him at around £15 million, and it could be considered a bargain fee for the 28-year-old who prefers playing as a left-back but can also feature in the centre of the park.
Given the amount of experience he has, Zinchenko could prove to be a valuable addition to their squad. However, signing a left-sided full-back isn’t really a priority for them, but it could become one if Antonee Robinson decides to part ways with the club amidst interest from the Middle East.
