Zinchenko set to leave Arsenal in January as Borussia Dortmund prepares an offer

Arsenal's left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is preparing to leave London in January, with Borussia Dortmund emerging as the leading contender for the Ukrainian international.

Details: According to The Telegraph, the German club has prioritized signing a left-back after missing out on Chelsea’s Renato Veiga, who is heading to Juventus on loan.

Borussia had submitted a bid for Veiga but is now forced to seek alternative options. Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell is another player on their radar, but Zinchenko is currently regarded as Dortmund’s top target. The "Black and Yellows" are preparing an offer for the Ukrainian.

Background: Arsenal signed Zinchenko for £30 million from Manchester City in July 2022. Since then, the 28-year-old has made 81 appearances for the club, becoming a popular figure in the dressing room and among staff.

By the way, Arsenal midfielder Jorginho was also close to leaving the Gunners this winter, but the Italian international's transfer to Flamengo ultimately fell through.
