The 22-year-old made 43 appearances in his debut season with the Premier League championsManchester City have agreed a three-year contract extension with 22-year-old defender Oleksandr Zinchenko. The deal, which runs until 2024, comes a day after City announced right-back Kyle Walker would be staying at the club for a similar length of time. Twelve months ago, it seemed Zinchenko had little future under Pep Guardiola. Zinchenko started both the EFL and FA Cup final successes against Chelsea and Watford respectively. It is understood Guardiola has shelved plans to bring in an alternative at left-back this summer and intends to make Zinchenko his first choice.
