Riccardo Calafiori’s first-half goal earned Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
The Italian defender pointed on a mistake from United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, who flapped at a corner and allowed the ball to go past him.
Mikel Arteta’s side have finished second in the Premier League table in each of the past three seasons, and the Spaniard will be desperate to see his side finish as champions this time around.
The Gunners have had a busy summer in the transfer market, but it now appears that one of their current players could be on his way out of The Emirates.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes via GiveMeSport, left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is close to leaving the club to join Turkish side Fenerbahce.
It is claimed that the Super Lig side have agreed a deal worth around £8.5 million for the Ukraine international.

Zinchenko, 28, joined Arsenal from Premier League rivals Manchester City back in 2022 and has since made more than 90 appearances for the club across all competitions.
Having been a regular in Arteta’s side during his first two seasons in North London, Zinchenko fell somewhat out of favour last term, starting just five of Arsenal’s 38 Premier League games and making only 23 appearances in total.
The Ukrainian has just under a year remaining on his current contract, which is believed to earn him around £120,000-per-week.
Zinchenko is capable of playing either as a left-back or in central midfield, and he will likely be a welcome addition to Jose Mourinho’s squad.
Arsenal have Riccardo Calafiori and Myles Lewis-Skelly as options at left-back, prompting Zinchenko to fall further down the pecking order.
