Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the club is in the final stages of signing Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City.
Arteta, speaking after a 3-1 win over Orlando City in a pre-season game, said there were just a few formalities left.
The Gunners boss, however, knows the two positions he intends to play Zinchenko in.
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.
