Milan identify Zinchenko as potential replacement for Theo Hernandez

The departure of Milan defender Theo Hernandez no longer seems so far-fetched, despite the player's refusal to move to Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless, the Rossoneri have started to explore options to strengthen the left side of their defense.

Details: Among those options, Sky Sports Italia names Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko as a candidate. It's not specified under what terms the Ukrainian could make the switch, but it's emphasized that his contract with the London club expires next year.

Hernandez's exit, in turn, seems inevitable, despite turning down Al Hilal and the complications with Atletico Madrid.

Reminder: The 28-year-old Ukrainian defender featured for 789 minutes in 23 appearances for Arsenal last season, scoring once and providing one assist. He missed a significant number of games due to injury during the campaign.
