Arsenal have been one of the most active Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window. Arsenal have now reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Manchester City to make Oleksandr Zinchenko their fifth summer signing. The Gunners have already splashed the cash on deals for Gabriel Jesus Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Matt Turner. Zinchenko emerged as the next top target for the Gunners with City willing to listen to offers for the Ukraine international. Mikel Arteta had both Kieran Tierney and Nuno Tavares as his go-to options at left-back last season. But while Pep Guardiola largely utilised Zinchenko on the left side of defence, he has occupied a central midfield role for his country. Arsenal had been moving quickly to try and capture Zinchenkos signature and they now appear to have made a breakthrough in negotiations. According to The Athletic, Arsenal now have an agreement in principle in place to sign Zinchenko.

City have also accepted an offer worth £32million in total, taking Arsenals summer spending to around £120m.
