According to a number of reliable sources, a formal bid has been lodged by Fulham for Olexandr Zinchenko, the defender currently plying his trade at Arsenal. He has been the subject of heated transfer speculation over recent weeks, and this latest bid could signal a turning point in the transfer saga. While Fulham and Arsenal continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Nottingham Forest, Marseille and Real Betis reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. This season (25/26) Fulham have shipped 11 goals in 7 matches - 1.57 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Olexandr Zinchenko would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Neither Arsenal nor Fulham have been linked with any additional targets at this stage.
