Fulham Eye Zinchenko

This summer Fulham is considering a movement for Arsenal -defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, according to reports.

Zinchenko struggled for playing time last season and managed only eight starts in all competitions with Mikel Arteta that prefer Myles Lewis-Skelly, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber for him.

It is claimed that Arsenal value Zinchenko is approximately £ 15 million and Fulham has already been 'conversations with the camp of the player'. However, AC Milan would also be interested in the 28-year-old.

Gyokees “mess”

Jonathan Chalkias, who cooperates with the agent Hasan Cetinkaya from Viktor Gyokeres, has lifted the lid on the long -term movement of the striker to Arsenal.

He said the Swedish Network WTV: “It was a mess. There was a men's agreement with the previous sports director. If Hugo Viana was still in the sport, the deal would be closed within an hour. Everything was written, we had no time to start a legal battle.

“I don't understand how a player who scored so many goals and won three trophies, no longer deserved respect. The sacrifices we made were the turning point for the deal to happen. They offered gyokeres to Real Madrid, they even got the headlines with Man United, but there was a dedication with Arsenal.

“Viktor always trusted the Hasan Cetinkaya project: they agreed to go to a competition with less exposure, such as the Portuguese, to win titles and return to the Premier League. At that time, seven Premier League clubs were already interested.”

Odegaard Goils Gyokees

Arsenal -captain Martin Odegaard is “really enthusiastic” by signing Viktor Gyokeres, where the striker burns a “very complete player”.

“I think you have all seen what he has done so far in his career, especially the last season at Sporting, the figures speak for themselves,” said Odegaard when he was asked about Gyokees. “He is a very complete player. He is physical, strong, fast, good finisher and intelligent.

“I think he is a very complete striker and you can also see the hunger, the energy he brings with him. I am really excited to have it with the team. He has only been trained a few times, but you can already see the quality, the energy and the willingness.”
