Oleksandr Zinchenko sent a message of thanks to the Arsenal supporters after being named Player of the Month for January.
Arsenal named Oleksandr Zinchenko their Player of the Month for January on Wednesday, with the Ukraine international fighting off competition from Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah, and Aaron Ramsdale.
Zinchenko finished first in the fan vote ahead of Nketiah, receiving 48% of the overall votes cast.
Speaking in a video clip posted on Arsenal’s social media channels, Zinchenko sent a message of thanks to the supporters.
“I would like to say thanks for two things,” Zinchenko said. “Voting me Player of the Month, and also for all [the] support during this season. Let’s fight together until the very, very end. Come on Gooners!”
Zinchenko was influential in Arsenal’s wins over Spurs and United as he made his comeback to full fitness in January, two big wins for the Gunners’ title credentials.
The left-back also featured off the bench against Oxford United and Manchester City in the cup and played 90 minutes in the draw against Newcastle United.
