LONDON: Arsenal has completed the signing of versatile Ukraine player Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City.
The 25-year-old flew back from City’s pre-season tour of the USA to complete the move after Arsenal agreed a £30m deal, which includes £2m in add-ons.
He has signed a long-term contract with the London club and is their fifth signing of the summer.
“Alex is a high quality player who will give us options and versatility,” boss Mikel Arteta said.
Predominantly a midfielder for his country, Zinchenko largely featured at left-back for the Blues, but only featured 15 times last season as Pep Guardiola’s side retained the Premier League title.
He is the second player to move from City to the Emirates this summer. Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus joined the Gunners for £45m earlier this month.
Zinchenko has joined up with his new team-mates at Arsenal’s pre-season training camp in Orlando, Florida.
