The Ukrainian, whose prospects at Arsenal are vague, could change clubs in the summer
To the Ukrainian defender Arsenal Alexander Zinchenko show interest Newcastle And Bavaria. According to media reports, the 27-year-old football player may change clubs in the near future.
Bayern sees in the Ukrainian a worthy alternative to Canadian Alphonso Davies, who is likely to move to Real Madrid at the end of the season. At the same time, according to other sources, the priority for the left-back position for the Munich club is Theo Hernandez from Milan.
Newcastle are also not averse to strengthening the problematic position, which in the vast majority of matches is occupied by the nominally central Dan Byrne. At the same time, the specialized Matt Targett and Lewis Hall receive little playing time and are unlikely to fully suit coach Eddie Howe.
Uncertainty about his future in Mikel Arteta’s team could push Zinchenko to leave. While Alexander continues to recover from injury, Jakub Kivior successfully takes his place on the defensive flank. In addition, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jurrien Timber, who are also capable of playing on the left, are close to returning to action.
Arsenal are reported to value the Ukrainian, whose contract runs until 2026, at €45 million.
Newcastle are in eighth place in the Premier League. Recently, the Magpies were credited with an interest in another Ukrainian – Real Madrid goalkeeper Andrei Lunin. Bayern are second in the Bundesliga, 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen.
Arsenal continues to participate in the title race – Arteta’s team is third in the Premier League, but only two points behind the leader – Liverpool. The Gunners are also trying to make it to the quarter finals of the Champions League – to do this they will need to overcome an away defeat to Porto (0:1). The next match Zinchenko’s team will play at home against Brentford on March 9.
