Oleksandr Zinchenko has played a far less prominent role for Arsenal this season compared to previous campaigns since his arrival at the club. The Gunners have an abundance of options at left-back, but Zinchenko was initially signed for his technical ability and his expertise in playing as an inverted full-back.

Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal are focused on “fighting to win every game” despite their Premier League dream looking increasingly fragile.

There are no added expectations or pressure on Arsenal to perform in the Champions League despite their recent struggles in the Premier League, manager Mikel Arteta said on Tuesday ahead of a last-16 return leg match against PSV Eindhoven.

Mikel Arteta says his advice to his team is that it is crucial not to 'give anything away because they're going to take it.' He talks about the importance of having to go through the stages in order to win and create that 'unbelievable atmosphere'.

Arsenal have expressed interest in signing ex-Manchester City winger Leroy Sane and Mikel Arteta is fully supportive of the move, according to reports. The Gunners are expected to sign a new striker this summer after struggling in that area of the pitch this season.

Mikel Arteta called on Arsenal to take the "next step" after booking their place in the Champions League last eight in successive seasons for the first time in 15 years. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Declan Rice were on the scoresheet as the Gunners drew 2-2 with PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates Stadium to win 9-3 on aggregate after dealing the Eredivisie side a 7-1 drubbing in the reverse fixture.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told the Gunners board to try and sign a marquee player this summer, with this next month described as pivotal in determining whether the Premier League heavyweights can get a deal done.
