Hopefully this guy is being signed as a back up and we have a main target in the summer. Seems like the only thing he has going for him is being left footed and tidy on the ball.

31 mln euros for the guy from Ukrainian league with only 18 months remaining on his current contract, sounds a bit steep.
Some say 25m. Still we'll pay it in installment as always

The 50/50 comment clearly a reference to Lemar.

Fernandinho cost 40 m Euros from Shaktar and has been worth every penny and more. Good players cost, especially in January.

Based on what I read in the Ukrainian press this guy is good on the ball, can play combination football and a decent passer. He is accustomed to playing a high line and can play across the back line. Apparently he is surprisingly good in the air with a 78% aerial duel win rate in the Champion's League. It seems his main weakness is one-on-one defending which is a bit worrisome for me. Apparently he is rated by Arteta so it would interesting to see what he can do if the transfer happens.

Aren't most full backs converted midfielders?

Perhaps, but it's clearly a stretch to say Zinchenko was a Ukrainian defender signed by Pep. He's still really a midfielder, plays as a midfielder for the national team. He's as much of a full back as AMN is.

If we are signing him then please please be ****ing decent, dont want another dud CB in the squad who then stays for years.

Also hes only played 36 games total for Shaktar but has 20 national caps, thats a lot of caps for so little club appearances.

He’s not joining. It was probably all a load of bollocks and now the media in Ukraine are trying to save face. He has 12 months left on his contract in the summer so nobody will be paying £30m for him.
