3. Incredible versatility

The standout feature with Oleksandr Zinchenko's style of play is that he does not have a standout feature. In fact, he does not even have a favourable position - Seems counter-intuitive, right? Wrong.

The Ukraine international is one of the best full-backs in the world for his ability to essentially play as a holding midfielder or a winger, depending on what the game calls for. This would certainly help a new Bayern Munich head coach, as they decipher their best tactical system. Having a player like Zinchenko to build your team around as a new head coach would be a dream come true.

Of course, Zinchenko is *technically* a full-back but throughout his time at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has given him the free-roaming license which has immensely benefited not just Zinchenko but the team as a whole. It is a tremendous asset to have a player who is comfortable in possession to invert, which is how Bayern Munich should aim to use Zinchenko if he signs.
