Borussia Dortmund are keeping an eye on Arsenal star Zinchenko.

When Dortmund first started talks with Veiga, it was assumed that he would be sent out on loan.

But Chelsea will only consider a permanent deal worth £20m.

This has led to BVB turning to Arsenal full-back Zinchenko.

The Ukrainian has fallen down the rankings under Mikel Arteta and a move to the Bundesliga giants this month is now a possibility.

Zinchenko only made seven Premier League appearances this season, of which he only started twice.

Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber were preferred instead of Zinchenko.

And Hale End academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly is currently enjoying a spell in the starting XI against Zinchenko after impressing Arteta.
