Fulham is reportedly set to join the pursuit for Arsenal`s Oleksandr Zinchenko, who could be available for a fee as low as £10 million this summer.
The defender`s position in the team has dropped, leading to interest from multiple clubs.
The Ukrainian international, who joined Arsenal for £32 million in 2022, is now thought to be surplus to requirements by manager Mikel Arteta and could be sold before the upcoming Premier League season begins.
This situation has put Fulham on high alert, with the club drawn to the former Manchester City player`s considerable experience and flexibility.
Fulham manager Marco Silva is reportedly keen to press forward with a deal. While Arsenal reportedly values the player at £12.7 million, the West London club believes they might secure him for approximately £10 million.
Fulham sees Zinchenko as a valuable asset who could be deployed in either defense or midfield, aiming to build upon their strong performance last season.
A source informed SunSport that Zinchenko is a significant target for Fulham and is considered highly likely to leave the Emirates this summer, with numerous clubs interested.
Several other teams are reportedly interested in the 28-year-old, including AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and Ajax.
Reports from last week suggested that Zinchenko, whose estimated annual earnings are around £4.26 million, might be open to personal terms in the region of £3 million, potentially indicating flexibility regarding his future.
Sources also indicated that remaining in London would be appealing to Zinchenko, as he is believed to be settled in the capital.
