Newcastle and Bayern Munich have both expressed interest in Oleksandr Zinchenko, with Arsenal placing a €45 million price tag on the left-back, according to exclusive information obtained by FootballTransfers.

In the eyes of the Bundesliga giants, the Ukrainian international has emerged as a prime candidate to fill the void left by Alphonso Davies, who appears poised to depart for Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, at Newcastle, manager Eddie Howe is actively seeking to reinforce his defense, particularly on the left flank.

Newcastle’s current options at left-back include Dan Burn, who has been deployed as the first-choice but with mixed success this season, and Matt Targett, who has seen limited playing time. Additionally, Lewis Hall, on loan from Chelsea, has struggled to secure regular game-time.

Zinchenko joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022 and played a crucial role in their title challenge, although they ultimately finished five points behind the champions. However, the 27-year-old has encountered difficulties this season, facing both injuries and a dip in form. He has been subject to criticism for his defensive performances, casting uncertainty over his future at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite Zinchenko’s return from a calf injury, he may find it challenging to reclaim his place in the Arsenal lineup for several reasons. This includes the emergence of Jakob Kiwior, who has proven himself as a valuable member of Mikel Arteta’s squad and has shown promise as a left-back. Additionally, Netherlands international Jurrien Timber, who was preferred over Zinchenko earlier in the season, is expected to make a return to the starting lineup soon.

According to Footballwave’s Estimated Transfer Value algorithm, Zinchenko is valued at €30 million. He remains under contract with Arsenal until 2026.
