Oleksandr Zinchenko enters the new Premier League season with renewed hope after showing signs of revival in his Arsenal career. The Ukrainian defender's return to form last season provided glimpses of what fans can expect in the 2023/24 campaign, where he looks to solidify his position in Mikel Arteta's squad.
"His performances toward the end of last season showed exactly what he brings to this Arsenal side – technical security and tactical flexibility," football analysts noted when discussing the Ukrainian's prospects.
Meanwhile, Illia Zabarnyi appears poised for a breakthrough year at Bournemouth. The young center-back has adapted quickly to English football demands and established himself as a reliable defensive option.
The situation with Mykhailo Mudryk remains more complicated. Chelsea's Ukrainian winger is still waiting for his defining moment in the Premier League after his high-profile transfer. Fans continue asking: when will we finally see Mudryk's breakout season?
Vitaliy Mykolenko completes the Ukrainian contingent in England's top flight, where he faces another challenging campaign with "Everton." The left-back delivered several solid performances last season, helping the Toffees avoid relegation despite their persistent struggles.
By the way, it's worth noting that all four Ukrainians play for different clubs, representing their nation across various tactical systems and club ambitions in arguably the world's most competitive league.
None of them have managed to achieve consistent starring roles yet, though Zabarnyi came closest with his reliable performances for "Bournemouth." Will this be the season when Ukrainian players truly make their mark on English football? The 2023/24 campaign might finally provide that answer.
