Arsenal star set for talks over transfer exit after huge Saudi agreement

Arsenal could see Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has slipped down the pecking order, depart with AC Milan on the prowl as the Italian club prepare to see Theo Hernandez leave for Saudi Arabia AC Milan have made contact with Arsenal as they consider signing Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has spent the last three years at the Emirates but will soon enter the final 12 months of his deal. Zinchenko knew Mikel Arteta from their Manchester City days and eventually followed him to the Emirates, but his minutes have massively decreased and he now faces an uncertain future in north London. The Italian giants are now ready to pounce with a £17million offer thought to be enough. ‌ The issue for Milan will be the Ukrainian's wages with his hefty salary a sticking point. Zinchenko would likely have to take a pay cut if he wanted to secure a move to the San Siro, where he would be far higher in the pecking order. ‌ The Serie A side just endured a disappointing campaign and missed out on the Champions League which has impacted on their summer plans. They are poised for a cash injection though with Theo Hernandez set to leave for Saudi club Al-Hilal. The Frenchman is due to land a bumper deal in the Middle East whilst Milan will be compensated for his exit, but it leaves them with a hole to fill in their squad. They are also keeping tabs on Club Brugge's Maxim De Cuyper. Zinchenko is tipped to leave Arsenal this summer after starting only five Premier League games last season. The emergence of Myles Lewis-Skelly has eaten into his minutes whilst Jurrien Timber has arrived since he joined and he was unsure on his next move when he last spoke. Back in March he was asked about his future and said: 'I don't know yet to be honest. If I would know, I could tell [you]. It's still a long way to go until the end of the season. I think we are at the stage and the most interesting period of the season, where every single game is a final and you never know what is going to happen in football.' Arsenal have already seen a number of squad players leave upon the expiry of their contract this summer. Kieran Tierney and Jorginho had both been on the club's books but have been allowed to seek pastures new. Arteta could see more big names leave with Thomas Partey yet to agree a new deal. The Ghanaian remains a regular but could leave this summer if terms aren't agreed. He's been linked with moves to Barcelona, Juventus and Saudi Arabia and could depart for nothing.
