Zinchenko is too good to sit on the bench, West Ham must make an offer

West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini should consider raiding his old club Manchester City for fringe player Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The versatile star seldo features for the Premier League champions, with Pep Guardiola having so much depth.

He’s made just four appearances in all competitions so far this season, with only one coming in the Premier League.

It’s been that way pretty much since he joined the club in 2016, which is something of a shame given how good a player he actually is.

Zinchenko stood out once again for Ukraine against Turkey on Tuesday, where he played in central midfield.

One team that could do with a new central midfielder is West Ham.

Pellegrini shouldn’t think twice

Pellegrini should definitely swoop on his old club for Zinchenko.

The star is a terrific player capable of operating anywhere in midfield and even at left back, which is another problem position for the Hammers at the moment.

Clearly Zinchenko has been coached brilliantly by Guardiola, and he’d make a wonderful signing for the Irons who need someone creative in the middle.

Injuries to Jack Wilshere and Carlos Sanchez haven’t been ideal, although the former is due to return soon.

Zinchenko would bring great technical qualities to the table, which is something the team is lacking at the moment.

He rejected a move to Wolves in the summer, but West Ham may not want to hang around in case Nuno Espirito Santo goes back in for him in January.
