Newcastle United will look to sign Manchester City left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko on loan during the January transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.
As to be expected, the exit rumour has had plenty of City supporters talking on social media.
Zinchenko, who has been hailed as ‘incredible’ by Pep Guardiola, has been at the Etihad Stadium since 2016 and has made 106 appearances in sky blue.
He started in midfield against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, but the Ukraine international has only made two Premier League appearances (both as a substitute) during the current campaign.
The Daily Mail shared a story on Thursday, suggesting that Newcastle will attempt an ambitious loan deal during the winter window for the 24-year-old.
Zinchenko has been reluctant to leave City in the past and is under contract until 2024, but it seems as if Eddie Howe’s side will look to seal a temporary deal over the coming months.
