Fenerbahce are reportedly interested in a potential summer deal for Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, but only under certain conditions.
 

The 28-year-old is widely expected to leave the Emirates before the transfer window closes in the coming weeks.

Turkish giants Fenerbahce have been heavily linked with a move for the Ukraine international in recent days, and an update has now emerged regarding his future.

According to Turkish outlet Sabah, Zinchenko is keen to join Fenerbahce this summer following talks with manager José Mourinho.

However, Fenerbahce are only prepared to pursue a loan deal with an option to buy, while Arsenal would prefer to sanction a permanent transfer.

The Gunners are understood to value the left-back at around €20m.
