Real Betis 'close in on Oleksandr Zinchenko loan move'

Manchester City youngster Oleksandr Zinchenko is reportedly on the brink of completing a season-long loan move to La Liga side Real Betis.

The 21-year-old has been given the chance to move on from the Etihad Stadium this summer, despite being used 14 times in all competition last season.

Zinchenko has already rejected a permanent £16m switch to Wolverhampton Wanderers, but Betis and City's sister club Girona have proposed more favourable loan bids.

According to The Sun, the Ukraine international intends to take up the offer to join Europa League participants Betis prior to the transfer window closing in 11 days' time.

City snapped up Zinchenko from Russian club FC Ufa in 2016 before sending him straight out on loan to PSV Eindhoven.
