Oleksandr Zinchenko, the versatile defender from Arsenal, has caught the eye of Bayern Munich. The German giants have included the Ukrainian in their shortlist, but it appears that his transfer is not their top priority.

Bayern's Strategic Moves

Bayern Munich is reportedly focusing on extending the contract of their Canadian fullback, Alphonso Davies, before considering other options. Davies has been a cornerstone for Bayern, and securing his future at the club remains a primary objective.

"Alphonso Davies has been crucial for us, and we are keen to keep him at Bayern for years to come," a source close to the club mentioned.

Zinchenko's Potential Impact

Zinchenko, known for his tactical flexibility and defensive prowess, could be a valuable asset for Bayern. His ability to play both as a fullback and midfielder provides depth and versatility to any squad. However, Bayern's interest seems to hinge on the outcomes of their negotiations with Davies and other targets.

Theo Hernandez: Another Option

Besides Davies, Bayern is also considering AC Milan's Theo Hernandez. The French defender has been in stellar form, making him a lucrative option for Bayern's defensive line-up. Hernandez's speed and attacking capabilities make him a modern fullback, fitting well into Bayern's aggressive playing style.

What's Next for Zinchenko?

While Zinchenko is on Bayern's radar, the decision will ultimately depend on the club's ability to secure their primary targets. If Davies extends his contract and Hernandez remains with Milan, Zinchenko could see his chances of moving to Bayern increase.

The transfer window is always full of surprises, and Zinchenko's future remains a topic of keen interest. His performance at Arsenal has certainly not gone unnoticed, and whether he stays in the Premier League or moves to the Bundesliga will be a storyline to follow closely.
