Arsenal 'step up' chase for Oleksandr Zinchenko but face bidding war with West Ham
Arsenal's pursuit of Manchester City star Oleksandr Zinchenko has peaked as Mikel Arteta is keen to reunite with the Ukraine international.Arteta worked with Zinchenko while he was Pep Guardiola's assistant at City, and the Spaniard is keen on bringing him to the Emirates, according to London Evening Standard. The versatility of Zinchenko has appealed to Arteta, who is not only hoping to use him as a back-up to Kieran Tierney, but also as a midfielder.Zinchenko could help resolve two of Arsenal's shortages, and with City chasing a new left-back, they may look to sell the Ukraine star in order to balance the books.
