For the first time in history! Zinchenko sets a fantastic EPL record

Oleksandr Zinchenko, a defender of the Ukrainian national team and Arsenal (formerly of Manchester City), has been ranked first in terms of the percentage of winning matches among all footballers in the history of the English Premier League. The updated rating was published by the authoritative statistical portal Transfermarkt

Our compatriot played in 88 matches in the Premier League. 82% of them were won. Only those players who played at least 50 games in the tournament were taken into account when compiling the rankings.

Chelsea's Arjen Robben came in second place (also 82%, but in 67 matches). Manchester City defender Emerick Aubameyang took third place (81%).

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, last November, Zinchenko, having taken part in the London Derby against Chelsea, came out on top in terms of the number of matches played by Ukrainian representatives in the English Premier League (EPL). Our footballer has played 82 matches. By this indicator, he is ahead of Oleg Luzhny, who has 81 games in the EPL.

On October 1, Zinchenko repeated Ukraine's record in the Premier League, surpassing the achievements of Shevchenko and Rebrov.

It will be recalled that Zinchenko joined Arsenal in January 2022 for €35 million. He has played in 7 matches in all tournaments, scoring one assist in the Premier League.

According to unofficial information, Oleksandr earns £7.8 million a year at the London club, or 150,000 a week ($170,000).
