'A joke': Oleksandr Zinchenko says Arsenal have a £50m player who might be even stronger than William Saliba
Today at 11:45 AM
Arsenal are a team of incredibly strong players.
The Gunners are so dominant from set-pieces because they have a squad full of players with immense strength.
The likes of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are absolute man mountains, but some of Arsenal's smaller players are also very strong.
Gabriel Martinelli's strength is underrated, while Lucas Leiva has claimed that Raheem Sterling is very strong too.
Folarin Balogun has also remarked on Bukayo Saka's strength in the past.
Speaking to Pro Direct Soccer, Oleksandr Zinchenko has been discussing the strongest players at Arsenal, and he gave a surprising answer when asked which player could lift the most weight at Arsenal.

Ben White is Arsenal's strongest player
Zinchenko named Ben White as the player who could lift the most weight in the gym at Arsenal.
"Who can lift the most?" Zinchenko was asked.
"I'm telling you now, you will never get the right answer to this, never, Zinchenko said.
"That is my opinion right, I'm saying my opinion. Ben White."
"Honestly, the weight Ben is using in the gym, it's a joke honestly. Upper body or lower body, the weight he's holding is a joke."
What is Ben White like in training?
White seemingly works incredibly hard in the gym, and everything you hear about the defender from training suggests that he is such a hard worker.
The defender was apparently a great influence on the young players in Arsenal training this summer, while White stunned staff with his pain threshold too.
The full-back may have this reputation for not necessarily loving football in the same way other players do, but that doesn't mean he's not committed to being the very best player he can be for Arsenal.
The £50m man is sadly out injured at the moment, but make no mistake about it, he will be working harder than ever before behind the scenes to make sure he's in the best shape possible when he does return.
