Marseille 'working on deal to sign Arsenal star' but face major stumbling block to completing move

Marseille are reportedly working on a late deal to bring Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko to France before the transfer deadline.

The Ligue 1 side want to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi's squad and are said to have opened discussions over a permanent move for the versatile full-back, who can also play in midfield.

Zinchenko, 28, is in the final year of his Arsenal contract and has yet to feature this season after making 15 Premier League appearances in the previous campaign.

According to The Athletic, talks are ongoing, but the Ukraine international's wages could prove a major hurdle to Marseille getting a deal over the line.
