Zinchenko was taking on Puma employee Cameron in the challenge and was given three attempts at showing off his skills.

His first attempt saw him pull off a backheel to keep the ball in the air before adding some smart flicks with the outside of the boot.

On his second go, Zinchenko produced a no-look head turn before trapping the ball dead with his left foot.

However, it was the third attempt that caught the eye as the Arsenal star produced a spin in the air whilst controlling the ball with the heel of his left foot.

The clip of the challenge has now gone viral with a host of Arsenal fans in awe of the left back.

One fan tweeted: "I don't think I've ever loved an Arsenal player as much as I love this man. Probably my favourite signing we've ever made."

Another wrote: "This is why they are called PROFESSIONAL footballers. Cause Lord knows I can't do all that."

A third said: "An unreal and underrated footballer. Might be a left back but he could play anywhere."

Zinchenko has been a revelation for Arsenal since singing for the club from Manchester City last summer.

The 26-year-old has become a fan-favourite at the Emirates alongside another former City star in Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal moved eight-points clear of City at the top of the Premier League with a comfortable 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Should Arsenal hold on to lift the title this season, it would represent Zinchenko's fifth title success in the last six years.
