Arsenal star ‘done’ at Emirates with imminent Gunners signing – fans told!

William Gallas has claimed that Oleksander Zinchenko’s days at Arsenal could be over with the signing of Riccardo Calafiori.

ARSENAL are on the verge of making the announcement of the signing of Calafiori after months of speculation – as the Italian is reportedly on his way to complete his much-talked about move to the Emirates.

Zinchenko’s days are numbered, according to Gallas, who believes the current Arsenal team have outgrown the need for the qualities the Ukraine international brought to the team during his first few months in north London.

Gallas told Gambling Zone.:‘I think Zinchenko had similar problems when he was at Manchester City. If you can remember, I don’t think that he played in that many of their big games because Pep Guardiola thought that his defensive ability was limited.

‘With the ball and in possession, he’s a talented player. He is good on the counter attack, but when you ask him to defend and when you put him under pressure, he makes mistakes. He has made a lot of mistakes at Arsenal which is why they are looking to improve their defence.

‘I think ARSENAL’s football has moved on from what Zinchenko offers them. Football is a game that constantly evolves, and it is changing again at the moment in terms of how the best teams try and defend.

‘Over the last few years, we’ve seen teams ask their left backs and right backs to go into midfield and build play from the back. We’ve seen back fours become back threes with the ball – a defenders role has changed a lot, but now the focus seems to be on doing what they are there to do: defending very well and being strong. There is a trend moving towards a much more solid back four.

‘There are a lot of reasons for that, but fundamentally, it’s about being stronger than your opponent and limiting the number of chances on your goal. Football is changing. We’re in a period that was made for real defenders.’
