Arsenal have officially signed the second most successful player in Premier League history in Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Though Zinchenko was never considered a sure-starter under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, he certainly made his mark in Manchester.
After the summer transfer window opened, it seemed likely that the Ukrainian would be moving on in a bid to secure regular first-team football.
Arsenal were the side fortunate enough to strike a deal with Man City and subsequently secure the services of their left-back-cum-midfielder.
In doing so, they’ve signed a player with the second highest win percentage of every player ever to feature in the Premier League.

Man City have been the dominant force in the Premier League in recent seasons, so it’s no surprise that he’s in and around the top bracket.
However, to be number two can be no coincidence, especially when his company is Arjen Robben, one of the finest wingers of his generation.
