It is worth noting that in this team, compiled by experts for GIVEMESPORT, Shaw was placed in the position of Zinchenko.
The current manager of Roma, José Mourinho experienced a conflict of absence with the English left-back during his appearance at Euro 2020 with England. Then the pundit criticizes the player for the alleged poor standard of performance. Shaw, on the other hand, disagrees with this statement.
- Merson played for Arsenal from 1985 to 1997. In total, he played 337 games for the team and scored 87 goals. With the Gunners, he won four trophies.
- Zinchenko has made 33 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
