The Ukrainian is very much seen as one of the leaders of the group at Arsenal. Playing as a left-back, he has ensured Mikel Arteta’s way of playing can be implemented.
And speaking on an episode of Footballer’s Lives, Zinchenko has revealed how another former City player, Gabriel Jesus, helped decide the move.
Zinchenko says Gabriel Jesus turned up at his house to seal Arsenal move
Of course, The Gunners tied up the signing of Jesus early in July of 2022. The Brazilian completed a move to The Emirates with the idea of being the main man at number nine.
Zinchenko would follow a few weeks later as well and speaking on the Footballer’s Lives show, the left-footer has revealed that Jesus actually turned up to help seal the deal.
“Mikel came to my house with the general director. We were sitting outside. And suddenly someone rings my bell and I say I’m going to have to go in case it was a delivery or someone else,” Zinchenko said.
“And there was just Gabriel Jesus behind my gate. So the secret agent came to my house and we had a good conversation all of us. It was a really positive one.”
