The links for Arsenal and Oleksandr Zinchenko are growing stronger by the day, this looks like a deal that will happen. I think I said something similar about Raphinha but in the end, his heart was always set on Barcelona and Arsenal couldn't overcome that pull.

I did have to lower the minute cut-off to 1,000 minutes from the standard 1,500 to get him included in the list but that is something that we will talk about in more depth a bit later.
Overall his stats really pop as a player.
