Arsenal man is now thinking about seeing out his contract at the club

Oleksander Zinchenko has been linked with a potential departure from Arsenal for much of the current transfer window. Initial reports suggested Fulham were interested in securing the Ukrainian’s services, followed by claims that AC Milan were also considering a move.

At present, the defender finds himself as the third-choice left-back in the squad, and Arsenal would reportedly have no hesitation in allowing him to leave. With less than a year remaining on his contract, a sale during this window would both remove his wages from the books and generate a transfer fee.

Contract Situation and Transfer Interest

Although interest has been reported from multiple clubs, talks with his potential suitors have yet to progress to an advanced stage. Zinchenko remains part of the Arsenal squad for now, though his manager is understood to favour the other left-backs available. This leaves the player facing limited opportunities for regular first-team football should he remain.

According to Football365, Zinchenko is now considering staying at the club and running down the final year of his deal, as no acceptable offer has been received for his signature. While he remains open to leaving, the same report indicates that he has no significant objections to staying at the Emirates.

Playing Time and Future Prospects

If Zinchenko chooses to remain, competition for his position will be fierce, and his chances of securing consistent minutes are expected to be limited. From Arsenal’s perspective, a transfer would be the preferable outcome, allowing the player to join a club willing to offer him more regular playing opportunities.

The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether he moves on or sees out his contract, but as things stand, a stay in North London appears increasingly possible.
