  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Zinchenko is expected to leave the Gunners this month and Dortmund have placed him at the top of their shortlist, the reports. The Bundesliga giants are keen to sign a left-back this month and had been interested in Chelsea's Renato Veiga, but he is instead set to move to Juventus on loan.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Zinchenko has fallen behind Myles Lewis-Skelly in the pecking order and has been limited to just two Premier League starts. Lewis-Skelly has sustained an injury, however, and Arsenal may wait to see the results of a scan before signing off on Zinchenko's exit.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Lewis-Skelly's potential absence is softened by the fact that Arteta also has Riccardo Calafiori as an option, so Zinchenko is still expected to move this month. The Gunners paid £30 million ($37m) to sign him from Manchester City but are unlikely to receive a similar fee. The Ukraine star's contract expires in 2026.
