Ipswich Town FC v Arsenal FC - Premier League

Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko has been forced to sell a high-end restaurant he opened in Ukraine's capital of Kyiv, per a new report.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Per The Sun, Zinchenko has placed his restaurant, named Inch, as a play on his name, up for sale for £1.9m. The Arsenal defender opened the eatery in Ukraine's capital of Kyiv last year, and he themed it around the sport, featuring multiple shirts, including Lionel Messi's Barcelona jersey and Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus shirt.

The doors closed last month and Zinchenko is now ready to move on. The estate agents have made it clear that everything in the restaurant is also for sale, describing the listing as a "ready-made business with profit".

Kyiv has been at the centre of multiple Russian air strikes since the war between the two countries began. The 31-year-old and his wife, Vlada Sedan, have now made the decision to move on from the business.
