Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko was close to joining Fenerbahçe. However, due to political considerations, the transfer did not take place. Sport24.az reports that journalist Serkan Hamzaoğlu shared this information on his social media account.
According to the source, the parties had almost agreed on a deal. However, the transfer did not happen due to the Ukrainian's political position. This led to sharp criticism from certain communities in Turkey.
Therefore, the club's management became cautious. The footballer himself, having received numerous threatening messages from Arabs, also abandoned the idea of changing clubs.
It should be noted that Zinchenko has not yet appeared for Arsenal this season.
