Arsenal defender expected to leave amid Dortmund interest
Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to head for the exit door amid interest from Borussia Dortmund, according to The Telegraph.
The Ukraine international has been a fringe player for the Gunners this term and he has only occasionally started in the Premier League.
He has decided to move on for regular game time and reports claim that Dortmund are weighing up an approach for his services.
The Bundesliga outfit were keen on landing Renato Veiga from Chelsea earlier this month, but he has chosen to join Juventus instead.
Zinchenko has now emerged as their priority target and Dortmund are primed to make a formal approach to land the former Manchester City man.
Arsenal have yet to give the green light for a transfer. They are assessing the injury sustained by Myles Lewis-Skelly last weekend.
If there is nothing serious, the left-back will be permitted to head for the exit door. Arsenal prefer a loan with an obligation to buy.
