Done Deal: Oleksandr Zinchenko Completes Shock Move to Borussia Dortmund in Surprise Arsenal Exit

In a stunning turn of events, Oleksandr Zinchenko has officially completed his transfer from Arsenal to Borussia Dortmund. The Ukrainian full-back, who joined the Gunners from Manchester City in 2022, has made a surprise move to the Bundesliga giants in a deal reportedly worth €35 million.

Zinchenko’s versatility, which saw him shine both as a left-back and central midfielder at Arsenal, made him a key figure under Mikel Arteta. However, with increased competition for spots and Dortmund’s need for defensive reinforcement, the 27-year-old has opted for a new challenge in Germany.

Dortmund, eager to bolster their squad, see Zinchenko as the perfect addition to their defense. His technical ability, leadership, and experience at the top level are expected to provide a significant boost to Edin Terzić’s side as they look to contend for the Bundesliga title.

Arsenal fans will surely miss Zinchenko’s contributions, but the move allows him more consistent playing time and an exciting opportunity in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues. The transfer was finalized after weeks of negotiations, with Zinchenko expected to link up with his new teammates in Dortmund ahead of the second half of the Bundesliga season.
