‘Wasn’t he gone?’, ‘Hope he stays!’ – Man City fans react as Journalist suggests Zinchenko Arsenal deal has hit a snag

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Oleksandr Zinchenko is weighing up whether to move to Arsenal, or stay at the Etihad to fight for his place.

The champions are happy with the Gunners offer of £30 million plus £2m add-ons for the versatile Ukraine international. And personal terms are in place on a four-year deal.

But it seems the 25-year-old has yet to agree to a move to North London – where he would link up with his former City coach Mikel Arteta.

According to Martin Blackburn of The Sun, Zinchenko is weighing up whether to take a new challenge at Arsenal – or stay to fight for his place at Manchester City.

The Journalist states that Man City are in no rush to sell and would be willing to shelve plans to sign a new left-back if he decides to stay.

It would be one of the biggest surprises of the summer if Zinchenko now decided to walk away from joining Arsenal.

There are too many reports out there claiming that the Ukraine international is on the verge of moving to the Emirates.

This report shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters, who were not shy in sharing their thoughts and opinions.
