Arsenal star has named the best holding midfielder he has ever played with on the pitch and claimed he is better than Rodri.

Oleksandr Zinchenko joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022 for a fee worth £30 million, potentially rising to £32 million.

The defender has been one of the Gunners' best players since joining the club, having helped them challenge for the Premier League title twice.

The defender has heaped praise on his fellow Arsenal teammate Tomas Partey and calls him the best midfielder in the world.

According to Center goal on X, Zinchenko said, “Thomas Partey is the best holding midfielder he's ever played with, even better than Rodri.”

The defender picked Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey as the best holding midfield player he has ever played with.

He also went on to claim that the Ghanaian star is better than his former Manchester City teammate Rodri.

Zincheko and Rodri played together at Man City for a long time, but the defender did not pick him as his best midfield player.

The Ukrainian will be looking forward to starting for Arsenal this weekend when they travel to Tottenham Stadium for the North London Derby clash.

Arsenal could likely be without Ricardo Calafiori for the game after he sustained an injury during the international break with Italy, with Arsenal recalling him back to the Emirates for further assessment.
