The midfielder of the national team of Ukraine and the London “Gunners” told an interesting case from his life.

Oleksandr Zinchenko almost lost his place in Donetsk Shakhtar’s academy for the dream of playing at London Arsenal. The midfielder of the Ukrainian national team said this.

According to the player, as a young player, he had the imprudence to tell the camera about his dream to play for the Gunners, not the Pitmen.

“I was 14 years old, I studied at Miner’s Academy.

I was doing stunts for the video and at the end they asked me: “What is your dream?”. I replied that I would play for Arsenal.

The next day the guy said we should re-shoot it because the club was going to kick me out. I just have to say that I want to play for Shakhtar, not for Arsenal.

It’s so funny, you have to find this video,” SkySports quoted Zinchenko as saying.

Recall that Zinchenko moved to Arsenal this summer from Manchester City. The London club previously said that they have long wanted to buy a Ukrainian football player.
