Arsenal have struck gold on several fronts this summer.

As well as bringing in a world-class striker in Gabriel Jesus, they also landed the equally impressive Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The 25-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to life at the Emirates Stadium, starting against both Crystal Palace and Leicester.

Zinchenko impressed in both games, providing an assist against the Eagles and knitting the play superbly against the Foxes.

Today, Arsenal shared a training-ground video on their website in which the £32million man stands out once again.

Mikel Arteta had his Gunners players line up for a keepy-uppy race, which begins at around 7:36 in.

Most of the Arsenal players appear evenly-matched, only for Zinchenko to appear into shot and completely leave his teammates trailing as he speeds ahead.

Superb speed and close control for the Gunners summer signing, and yet more proof that Arteta and Edu have worked wonders in the window.

Arsenal have enjoyed a superb transfer window and have won both of their Premier League games so far.

Sure, it’s early in the season, but still, things certainly look to be heading in the right direction.

Arsenal are next in action on Saturday evening, heading to Bournemouth in a 5:30pm BST kickoff.

The Gunners then wrap up the month with home games against Fulham and Aston Villa.
