Zinchenko tipping young Arsenal teammate for big future

Oleks Zinchenko is convinced young Arsenal teammate Reuell Walters has a big future.

The 18 year-old can play at right-back and centre-half and is regarded highly inside the club.

Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Five YouTube channel, Ukraine international Zinchenko said: "I like so much centre-back Reuell. I think the qualities he has, he is aggressive.

"I swear to God, one time he pushed Gabriel Jesus in a shoulder-to-shoulder. It is not easy to push Gabriel because he is very strong, and he was confident on the ball afterwards, he kept the ball well and passed.

"Wow. He impresses me the most."
