‘Unbelievable’ Arsenal star has just changed agents after claims Mikel Arteta wants to sell him

One Arsenal player has confirmed that he has signed with a new agency amid rumours that he could be sold this summer.

The Gunners haven’t been too active with respect to new signings in this window, but they have managed to push a few players out of the door.

Mohamed Elneny and Cedric Soares were released at the end of their contracts in June, while Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares have both been moved on, initially on loan.

Arsenal are expected to part ways with a few more players between now and the end of the summer transfer window.

One player who has been linked with a move away from the Emirates has now hired new agents.

Oleksandr Zinchenko confirms he has new agents amid Arsenal exit links

Arsenal signed Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City in the summer of 2022.

The Ukraine international became an instant fan favourite at the Emirates Stadium. He even got his own song after just a few weeks at the club.

Zinchenko played a huge part in helping Arsenal become title contenders in the 2022/23 season, and his experience is still key for all the younger players at the club.

However, the 27-year-old had a few injury issues in the 2023/24 season and his defending came under a lot of criticism as well.

That has led to some uncertainty about his future, and reports have even claimed that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has put Zinchenko on the ‘chopping block’ this summer.

German giants Bayern Munich have been linked with a move to Zinchenko, while reports claimed that Newcastle United are interested in Zinchenko as well.

Now, to add fuel to the fire, the Arsenal number 35 has announced that he has changed agents.

“Proud to start this new chapter with Unique Football Agency. Let’s get started,” he wrote on Instagram.

Zinchenko’s Arsenal future depends on his teammate

Zinchenko is clearly not Arsenal’s first-choice left-back anymore.

The Ukrainian, branded as ‘unbelievable‘ by Kevin De Bruyne, fell behind Jakub Kiwior and Takehiro Tomiyasu in the pecking order. Jurrien Timber could also be ahead of him.

Now, Arsenal have been linked with a move to sign Riccardo Calafiori, and the Italian, if he joins, will likely play at left-back as well.

That reduces the need for Zinchenko, but there is still a chance he will stay.

That’s if Kiwior, who is very similar to Calafiori, ends up leaving the club. The Pole’s departure would open the door for Zinchenko to keep his place in the squad – albeit he will probably be the second choice.

It will be interesting to see what will happen with Zinchenko in the coming weeks.
