Arsenal-linked Zinchenko included in Man City´s pre-season tour squad

Oleksandr Zinchenko has been included in Manchester City’s squad for their pre-season tour of the United States despite reports he could be set to join Arsenal.

The Gunners are said to have agreed a fee of £30million to take the versatile Ukraine international to Emirates Stadium.

A move would not appear to be imminent, though, as Zinchenko was among the 26 City players who flew out to the USA on Saturday.

Arsenal technical director Edu is reportedly trying to agree personal terms with the 25-year-old, who could be reunited with former City assistant coach Mikel Arteta.

Phil Foden, Ilkay Gundogan, John Stones and Aymeric Laporte were not included in the City squad.

Big-money signings Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips have travelled out with their new team-mates along with Nathan Ake, who has been linked with a return to Chelsea.

Premier League champions City face Club America at the NRG Stadium in Houston on Wednesday before facing Bayern Munich at Lambeau Field in Green Bay three days later.
