Oleks Zinchenko admits Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta had a surprise for him when he was leaving Manchester City last year.

Arteta visited Zinchenko's home to hold talks about a move to the Gunners.

Speaking to Footballers Lives on TikTok, he said: "Mikel [Arteta] came to my house with a general director.

"We had a conversation [about] the way they see me in the club, which position, the project of the club and the structure and everything.

"And then we were sitting outside because it was such nice weather. Suddenly, someone rings my bell.

"I said, 'Sorry, guys. I need to open the door to see maybe delivery or someone else'."

He continued: "And there was just Gabriel Jesus behind my gate and I just said, 'Nah, is this a joke?'

So secret agent came to my house and we had a good conversation, all of us. That was a really positive one."
