ARSENAL fans have already fallen in love with new boy Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The Ukraine international, 25, joined the Gunners in a £32million move from Premier League rivals Manchester City last month and has already established himself as Mikel Arteta's first choice left-back.
He has made three appearances so far this season, but was forced to pull out of Saturday's match against Fulham with a tight thigh.
And despite being stuck on the sidelines he could not resist getting involved in the action.
A video, which emerged on social media shortly after Arsenal' s 2-1 victory over Fulham, shows the full-back passionately arguing with the fourth official following a decision that went against the Gunners.
Fans took to Twitter to react, with one person writing: "Arteta has got so many individual leaders in this team."

Another added: "As an Arsenal fan and just a football fan in general when you support a club it’s things like this that carry value!
"You’ll never win all the time but pride and passion playing for your clubs fans never forget."
A third said: "The winning mentality, the fighting spirit we have been looking for all these days. A lot of leaders in this Arsenal team."
While another Arsenal fan admitted: "Stuff like this means so so so much to me."

Zinchenko also made his presence known when Gabriel Magalhaes scored Arsenal's winning goal in the 86th minute of the match.
He sprinted from the dugout to the corner flag to celebrate with the Brazilian defender, who cancelled out his horrid mistake – which led to Fulham's only goal – with the late strike.
Arsenal now sit at the top of the Premier League table with a maximum 12 points.
Arteta's side return to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday to host Aston Villa.
