Zinchenko claims he's known ONE Arsenal teammate longer than his wife

Alex Zinchenko has picked Gabriel Jesus as the closest Arsenal teammate he has known longer than his wife. 

“We are a close group,” he said. “It’s difficult to choose the player I am closest to, but if I choose one then it is Gabriel Jesus – because I have known him longer than my wife! I’m joking, but I have known him for a long time!

"We both have kids now, so our schedules mean it’s quite hard to spend time together as families.

"But it’s nice to share experiences with players from different countries and cultures, though we all speak the same language, football language, which is understood all around the world."

Zinny and Gabriel joined the Gunners in the summer of 2022 from Man City.
