Zinchenko was already present at Excelsior’s away match on Sunday and sat in the stands with goalkeeper Maarten Paes. “With Oleksandr, we are bringing in an experienced player who will immediately give us a quality boost in the hunt for UEFA Champions League football,” says football director Marijn Beuker.
“As a left wing-back, he is tactically strong, he brings defensive stability and fits in perfectly with our way of playing. Oleksandr has proven in the Premier League that in addition to his defensive qualities, he can also play an important role in building up and breaking through lines.”
