Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the club is nearing a deal with Manchester City for Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Following a 3-1 victory over Orlando City in a preseason match, Arteta stated that only a few formalities remained.
However, the Gunners manager is aware of the two positions in which he plans to use Zinchenko.
When asked if Zinchenko is a left-back or midfielder, Arteta replied: “Both, he can play in both.
“He was a natural no.10 early in his career and we converted him into a left-back which can do a lot of things we want.
“That versatility is something that is going to be important for the team.”
Arsenal and City have agreed a £30million fee for the Ukraine international, who will sign a contract until 2026 at the Emirates.
