Overview

• Negotiations centre on a £15 million asking price for Zinchenko alongside a proposed loan-to-buy deal for Reiss Nelson.
• Arsenal opened discussions with Zinchenko’s representatives in early June as he enters the final year of his contract.
• Fulham revived advanced talks over Nelson on July 26 after his promising loan spell at Craven Cottage was cut short by a hamstring injury.
• Zinchenko made just 522 Premier League minutes last season yet remains one of Arsenal’s top earners at roughly £200,000 per week.
• Offloading both players could generate about £30 million in transfer revenue and free over £200,000 in weekly wages to fund further summer signings.
