Oleksandr Zinchenko is due to have a medical this week to complete his £30m move from Manchester City to Arsenal after agreeing personal terms on a contract to 2026.

The clubs settled on a fee last Friday and talks with the player were finalised on Monday. The Ukraine international was keen to work again with Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager who had a spell with him at City as assistant to Pep Guardiola.
