Mikel Arteta's side are top of the Premier League table by five points, ahead of reigning champions Manchester City, and are being linked to many forwards in a bid to boost their title chances.

“He said that many times including directly to me in an interview that I did about two months ago, he said he can’t say no to Arsenal.
“He’s spoken directly with Zinchenko his countryman, he’s very impressed by Mikel Arteta and the style that the team play.”
