Arsenal have completed the signing of versatile Ukraine player Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 25-year-old flew back from City’s pre-season tour of the USA to complete the move after <\/span>Arsenal agreed a \u00a330m deal,<\/span> which includes \u00a32m in add-ons.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He has signed a long-term contract with the London club and is their fifth signing of the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is a boyhood dream come true, because I was a massive fan when I was a kid,” said Zinchenko.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Since Thierry Henry and young Cesc Fabregas was playing here, I was just enjoying watching those games, that Arsenal. And obviously I started to love this club, so I am so excited and I cannot wait to play for this amazing club.”<\/span><\/p>\n

‘A hope and smell for titles’<\/h3>\n

Predominantly a midfielder for his country, Zinchenko largely featured at left-back for the Blues, but only played 15 times last season as Pep Guardiola’s side retained the Premier League title.<\/span><\/p>\n

He says he has spoken to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta about his role in the team but would keep the details “private”, adding: “If the manager tells me one day I need to be goalkeeper, I will be there.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Zinchenko worked with Arteta when the Gunners’ boss was on the coaching team at Manchester City and says the experience played “the most important role” in his decision to move.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Since the first day at City I knew that he’s going to be a very good manager,” Zinchenko added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am here to achieve big things and I hope we can win some titles, and I hope we are going to fight for every title in which we are going to be involved. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Even from the last season, I was watching Arsenal’s games and I could smell it’s coming, you know? The team is growing up so quickly and I think it’s time. It’s time to do our best and to achieve something big.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Zinchenko is the second player to move from City to the Emirates this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brazil striker <\/span>Gabriel Jesus joined the Gunners for \u00a345m<\/span> earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technical director Edu said Zinchenko had been a “main focus” in their recruitment and backed the new recruit to help the squad reach a “different level”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manager Arteta added: “Alex is a high quality player who will give us options and versatility.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s a player that I personally know really well and continued to follow him after my time at Manchester City.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s not only about the positions he can play but as well, the versatility he will give us in attack and defense. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Alex is a person with great human qualities and character, and I’m delighted that everyone has made this huge effort to bring Alex to the club.”<\/span><\/p>\n
