Ben Jacobs reports for GiveMeSport that Fulham have entered into talks with Oleksandr Zinchenko’s camp over a potential move across London.

The two parties have reportedly been holding conversations since early June, and Fulham are now considering making a formal bid. Jacobs adds that AC Milan are also interested in Zinchenko.

For Arsenal’s part, the Gunners are open to offers and value Zinchenko at around £15m.

Though the situation is ongoing, Jacobs also reports that a left-back signing will only become a priority for Fulham if Antonee Robinson leaves. If Robinson stays, the club will likely focus their budget on other positions.

That said, Zinchenko is more than capable of playing in midfield, as he does for Ukraine. So Fulham deciding not to sign a left-back might not necessarily mean they completely close the door on adding Zinchenko to their ranks.

There have been some links between Zinchenko and Fulham throughout the summer, though the Milan reports have been played down in the past.

For the time being, Zinchenko continues to feature for Arsenal in pre-season, and unless something changes he’s set for one more year in north London before his contract expires in 2026.
