Should Arsenal terminate Zinchenko’s contract this summer?

Arsenal continue to reshape its squad during this transfer window, with Oleksandr Zinchenko emerging as one of the players expected to depart. The left-back was once considered a vital member of the team, but his influence has diminished significantly over the past twelve months.

With the arrival of Riccardo Calafiori and the rise of Myles Lewis-Skelly from the academy ranks, Zinchenko’s place in the squad has come under serious threat.

Lack of Interest Could Complicate Departure

Despite his experience and past contributions, Zinchenko is not currently attracting the level of interest one might expect. This lack of movement raises concerns that he may end up remaining at the Emirates until the end of his contract, which would be far from ideal for either party.

Arsenal are now faced with a situation where it must act decisively. The report indicates that the club may consider a contract termination by mutual consent if no concrete offers materialise for the Ukrainian defender.

Such a move would allow Arsenal to offload a player who no longer fits into Mikel Arteta’s plans and potentially free up both wages and squad space for a replacement, should the club feel further reinforcements are necessary at left-back.
