Oleksandr Zinchenko was a highly rated Ukrainian in his homeland, which prompted Pep Guardiola to sanction his purchase in 2016.

He underwent a couple of loan spells and was close to leaving The Etihad owing to the superiority of quality ahead of him, but Guardiola rates the 22-year-old highly and convinced him to remain with The Cityzens.

Chances have been few and far between for him to showcase his abilities and Zinchenko has been played out of position as a left-back on the few occasions when he has been put on.

In the game against West Ham, Zinchenko was once more on from the start as a left-back (benefiting from the injury to first choice left-back Benjamin Mendy).

The match was Zinchenko's 13th in the Premier League (with 11 of those coming as starts) and incredibly, he has been on the winning side in each of those 13 fixtures - which is the most victories managed by any player in history from the start of their Premier League career.
