Earlier this month, Sudakov said that his playing style is similar to that of Tottenham Hotspur and England international attacking midfielder James Maddison.

Arsenal have been linked with Sudakov. TEAMtalk reported in October that Juventus, Manchester City, the Gunners and Chelsea all have scouted the attacking midfielder and have been impressed with him.

Zinchenko would also like Mykola Matviyenko at Arsenal. Matviyenko is 27 and can play as a centre-back or as a left-back.

The defender has been on the books of Shakhtar Donetsk his entire professional club football career so far and has played 61 times for Ukraine. Matviyenko was linked with Arsenal back in January 2020.

When asked which of his Ukraine international teammates he would sign for the Gunners, the 26-year-old said: “Matviyenko”.

Meanwhile, Rob Holding could be on the move again just months after leaving Arsenal.

Crystal Palace signed Holding from Arsenal in the summer of 2023. According to Football Transfers, Bournemouth are interested in the defender and have expressed interest in securing his services.
