Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>New Arsenal signing, Oleksandr Zinchenko, has said moving to the Emirates fulfils a \u201cboyhood dream\u201d.<\/p>\n

Zinchenko becomes the second Manchester City player to make the switch to the Gunners in recent weeks, following Gabriel Jesus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to say this is a boyhood dream come true because I was a massive fan when I was a kid.<\/p>\n

\u201c[When] Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas [were] playing here, I was just enjoying watching those games, that Arsenal. Obviously, I started to love this club, so I am so excited and I cannot wait to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable, honestly, like I said, it\u2019s a dream come true and since I was a kid I couldn\u2019t even dream about it, but now it\u2019s time, so I\u2019m so happy,\u201d Zinchenko told Arsenal\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
