REVEALED: What Zinchenko told Mykailo Mudryk after snubbing Arsenal for Chelsea.

 The Arsenal man has revealed what he told Mykailo Mudryk after his famous Arsenal snub. 

Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko has opened up on what he told his Ukrainian teammate, Mykailo Mudryk after snubbing Arsenal for the West side of London. 

Mudryk had flirted with Arsenal prior to his Chelsea move in the opening two weeks in January. Before his move, Mudryk registered 10 goals and eight assists in 18 appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk this campaign.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Zinchenko revealed what he told Mudryk after the latter rejected Arsenal in favor of Chelsea this term. He said:

"I said to him: 'It's gone already, it doesn't matter what you wanted, what the other guys wanted. Now you're a Chelsea player, you signed a long-term contract and you have only one option, only one way: direct and forward. Unfortunately he didn't become an Arsenal player – as I wanted personally! – but it's life."

Zinchenko, who is a four-time Premier League winner, has also switched clubs like his compatriot in the recent past. After spending six trophy-laden years at Manchester City, he secured a permanent move to Mikel Arteta's side in a deal worth up to £35 million, including add-ons.

Operating as a left-back, Zinchenko has been a vital part of the Gunners' Premier League title charge this season. He has scored one goal and contributed two in 27 games across all competitions so far.

Zinchenko and Mudryk are set to face off during Arsenal's home clash against Chelsea in the Premier League on April 29.

Magical display and goal from Nicolas Jackson that shows he's Chelsea's next Didier Drogba.

Image
 Nicolas Jackson was on target for the Blues in their 4-1 trashing of Burnley yesterday.  Raheem Sterling takes the ball from midfield and turns around on his marker to leave him biting dust. Once in the final third he finds Cole Palmer in the box, who calmly lays it to Nicolas Jackson right in front of goal. The striker does very well in controlling the ball, adjusting his footing, and striking it for Chelsea’s fourth goal against Burnley. Comparisons have been made with Nicolas Jackson's stats for the Blues and that of Legend, Didier Drogba. Jackson's first goal for the club was a Drogba-esque one.  However, this performance and display from Jackson vs Burnley will convince you that he's just Chelsea's next hit striker after Didier Drogba: VIDEO: Chelsea may have just found their next Didier Drogba in Nicolas Jackson.

Chelsea have renewed their interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, according to reports. The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the Belgian in January but a deal never came to fruition. Onana, who only signed for Everton last summer, was one of the Toffees' best players in the 2022/23 season and played a starring role in sustaining their Premier League status. After an impressive first half of the season in England, there was dialogue between Chelsea and the 21-year-old's entourage but he remained at Goodison Park and Enzo Fernandez was signed instead. Now, with Mauricio Pochettino seeking a new midfielder to bolster his squad ahead of next season, it has been reported that the Blues have revived their interest in the former Lille midfielder...
