Gunners’ star used to work with Arteta at Manchester City. Later, the duo joined the Gunners and are now enjoying the season, leading the Premier League table.
Speaking to Daily Mail, Zinchenko recalled the time when Arteta left Etihad to move to Arsenal in 2019.
“I didn’t hold my emotions, I couldn’t because this guy was so special to me. He taught me a lot,” the defender said.
“As a human being, he was incredible and the way he was working with us young players after every single training session, the advice he was giving everyone, was something incredibly important for me.”
