William Gallas believes Oleksandr Zinchenko should dropped if Arsenal are able to sign Riccardo Calafiori
“I think Zinchenko had similar problems. When he was at Manchester City,” Gallas
The 22-year-old’s arrival could spell trouble. However, for two Arsenal players who are likely to slip even further down Arteta’s pecking order in the shape of Jakbub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
“If you remember, I don’t think he play a lot in the big games. Because Pep Guardiola thought his defensive ability was limited. On the ball, he’s a talented player, he’s good on the counter-attack, but when you put him in a defensive position and put him in a situation where he’s under pressure, he makes mistakes.”
“He made a lot of mistakes at Arsenal, which is why they are looking to improve their defence. I think Arsenal football has gone beyond what Zinchenko offered them.”
Zinchenko, meanwhile, made a hugely positive early impact upon his move to Arsenal from Manchester City two years ago,
but his form deteriorated alarmingly last season, while he has also suffered from a series of niggling injuries that have affected his availability.
Despite there problems at left-back, โปรโมชั่น ufabet Arsenal boasted the meanest defence in the Premier League last term, but Gallas believes the addition of Calafiori will make them an even meaner machine.
“At the same time, I think Calafiori would be a good signing for Arsenal because the club doesn’t have a left-back at the moment. There are doubts about that position.”
Gallas believes Zinchenko made too many mistakes last season and deserves relegated to the bench.
Calafiori join the Gunners and join the squad for their pre-season tour of the United States. The 22-year-old is capable of playing at centre-back or left-back. Which could put Jakub Kiwior and Zinchenko in a difficult position.
