Arsenal travel to face Manchester United on Sunday in the standout game of the Premier League’s opening weekend.
The Gunners have finished second in the top flight for three consecutive campaigns, and manager Mikel Arteta will be desperate to see his side go one better this time around.
Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi are among those to have arrived at The Emirates so far this summer, while Jorginho is one of those to have left the club since the end of last term.
Now, it appears that another member of Arteta’s squad could soon be on his way out of London.
According to GiveMeSport, Portuguese giants Porto are interested in Arsenal full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The report claims that Arsenal are open to the idea of allowing Zinchenko to leave this summer, although talks between the two clubs are currently at a very early stage.
Zinchenko, 28, joined the Gunners from Premier League rivals Manchester City back in 2022 and has since played more than 90 times for the club across all competitions.
The Ukraine international had established himself as a regular starter in Arteta’s side, but he has fallen slightly down the pecking order at The Emirates and started just five of the Gunners’ 38 Premier League games last term.
The left-back is under contract in North London until the end of the upcoming season, but it is suggested that he could leave the club this summer.
It is also claimed that the two clubs have a strong relationship, which could help to progress negotiations if the Portuguese outfit step up their interest in the player.
Previously, Zinchenko made more than 125 appearances during a spell with Man City.
