Fulham have previously found success in signing players from Arsenal, and they are now reportedly looking to add Oleksandr Zinchenko to their squad. The Ukrainian international could be on his way out of the Emirates, as his future at the club looks increasingly uncertain.
Zinchenko is expected to struggle for regular playing time this season, with Arsenal working tirelessly to strengthen their squad. The emergence of Myles Lewis-Skelly and the signing of Riccardo Calafiori have further limited his prospects, pushing him down the pecking order in Mikel Arteta’s plans.
Fulham Hoping to Secure Zinchenko as Arsenal Reshape the Squad
Arsenal have shown a clear willingness to evolve their team, bringing in new talent while moving on from players who have served the club for several years. Zinchenko appears to be among those now deemed surplus to requirements, and his departure seems increasingly likely.
Remaining in London could be an attractive option for the defender, and this presents Fulham with a potential advantage. According to Star Sports, the Cottagers are already in discussions with Zinchenko’s representatives as they explore the possibility of securing his signature.
Arsenal reportedly support the idea of his departure and is not expected to obstruct any ongoing negotiations. With opportunities at the Emirates limited, a move would benefit both parties.
A Practical Move for All Involved
Zinchenko is a talented player, but would find it difficult to secure meaningful minutes in Arsenal’s current setup. Allowing him to leave would not only free up space in the squad but also help the club continue its strategic overhaul.
Fulham, on the other hand, would offer him the chance to play more regularly while remaining settled in London. This makes the potential move a practical one for the player and a sensible step for both clubs. As discussions continue, all sides will hope to reach an agreement that allows Zinchenko to reignite his career in the Premier League.

If true ( and i am confused) there was an article saying Arteta was keeping him on here? I bet its a loan again, with no obligation to buy.
Let’s see what actually happens. As far as I can tell from reports generally, Arsenal doesn’t seem very close (yet, anyway) to offloading any of the players that they want/need to. There’s still a month to go though.
I think it’s a good move for all parties. Zinny has definitely helped us and improved the squad initially. The inverted left back worked well until teams started targeting him defensively.
However it is time to move on as strategies have changed. If this rumour is true, I would think it would be a loan deal and not an outright sale.
