Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is being targeted by European giants Bayern Munich.
The Champions League semifinalists are planning ahead of a potential departure of their key player.
Left-back Alphonso Davies is rumoured to be leaving the Bundesliga club to join La Liga leaders Real Madrid.
According to Football Transfers (via Sport), the Bundesliga club view Zinchenko as a possible replacement of the Canadian international.

The player has adapted well to the manager’s playing style by helping the Gunners in midfield and in chance creation, while playing as a left-back.
