The Ukraine international, who joined Arsenal from Manchester City in summer 2022 for an initial £30 million, has fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta. Although he began his Gunners career strongly, he has more recently been displaced by Myles Lewis-Skelly and Riccardo Calafiori.

Interest Elsewhere

Porto’s interest arrives amid mounting speculation that Zinchenko could be on the move. Additionally, clubs such as AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Inter, and Juventus have also been linked to the versatile midfielder-turned-left-back.

Zinchenko's contract at Emirates runs until the summer of 2026, positioning him as a valuable asset both for performance and potential financial return. His adaptability to operate in multiple roles makes him attractive to clubs seeking depth.

For Arsenal, the potential sale could free funds to pursue high-priority targets like a striker or central midfielder. The interest from Porto could prompt negotiations if both clubs can align financially—and if Zinchenko envisions a fresh start elsewhere.
