Some Arsenal fans believe it's time to let go of Oleksandr Zinchenko following a series of disastrous spells by the defender.
Signed for £30 million from Manchester City in 2022, the Ukrainian has two years left on his contract.
Typically, this is when clubs begin negotiations over a new deal but that's not happened with Zinchenko.
The fact that he's injury-prone doesn't help his case either, having missed 25 games in total due to various injuries since last season.
On the back of the 2-0 loss to Aston Villa, fans on Reddit are starting to realise why Pep Guardiola parted with Zinchenko in the first place.
💬 PokeKing: "I appreciate the mentality Zinny has helped grow at the club, but at this point has a liability."
💬 Looper007: "Defensively he's not top class, and there's a reason City happily let him go. Was good for a few months last season until PL managers caught onto his weaknesses and he's never been the same since. Unlike Jesus, who I would keep as a back up to hopefully a better striker come the summer. If we can get 30 to 40 million for Zinny, I'd happily sell him."
💬 Aliladiere: "Pep knew what he was doing selling Zinchenko and Jesus. At the time they were good purchases for a club like Arsenal and good sales for City. Good enough for a club trying to become good again, but not good enough for the elite top end of the league. I’ve made my peace with it."
💬 Chulthu_Madness: "He has regressed so much this season and selling him is the right approach. The stinker against Villa's gotta be his worst performance for us."
💬 Flabby-Nonsense: "He came in and improved the team, especially at the beginning of last season when he was an absolute force. Unfortunately he’s just too sloppy in defence - this league is increasingly about small margins and individual errors can cost you the title."
