INTER MILAN are preparing a January bid for Oleksandr Zinchenko, SunSport can reveal.
Mikel Arteta is believed to be “open-minded” to the idea of letting the Ukrainian leave.
Ex-Manchester City ace Zinchenko has slipped down the pecking order at the Emirates.
And Inter think that Zinchenko could help massively boost their domestic campaign.
The full-back's arrival from City ousted Kieran Tierney, before the 28-year-old himself was sidelined by the arrivals of first Jurrien Timber and then Riccardo Calafiori, both of whom can play across the backline.
Tierney will be leaving the club on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season, and Zinchenko could well follow him out of the door, having started just two Premier League games this term.
The question mark over Zinchenko’s future comes as Arsenal reportedly monitor the future of French international defender Theo Hernandez.
The rampaging full-back is AC Milan's highest ever scoring defender but struggled under recently-sacked boss Paulo Fonseca.
He has started 10 Serie A games but was dropped for their clash with Genoa and began their win over Hellas Verona on the bench.
As it stands, the Frenchman's £81,000 a week deal at San Siro expires in 2026, and Italian reports claim that to date there has been no significant progress on his renewal.

It has raised speculation that the left-back could be sold in the next transfer window.
Arteta is believed to be a huge fan of the player.
