Fabrizio Romano has provided a fresh update on the Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal transfer story.

The Gunners have reportedly agreed a £32m fee with Manchester City for the Ukraine international.

As per the Evening Standard, Arsenal are set to pay an initial £30m for Zinchenko, with a further £2m in add-ons.

The 25-year-old has also provisionally agreed personal terms on a four-year contract at Arsenal, added the report.

Now, according to Romano, the Gunners are planning their “next steps” to unveil Zinchenko as their new signing.

He claimed the player “could leave” City’s camp later today to link up with Arsenal for his medical tests.

“First and second part of Zinchenko’s medical will take place this week,” concluded Romano.

Arsenal are currently on tour in the United States.

As per the Evening Standard, prospective new signings would undergo medical checks in the UK before flying out to join the squad.

But City are also in America and there is scope for Zinchenko to do his medical there instead.

Arsenal have of course made one signing from City already this summer.

Gabriel Jesus will now be their main man at centre-forward.

And Zinchenko would be another superb signing for the Gunners.

Not only is he superb at left-back, but he can also play in midfield, regularly starring in that position for Ukraine.

This is just what Arteta needs – cover for Kieran Tierney, added quality in the middle of the park, and a player with extensive Premier League experience.
