Fans keep asking Oleksandr Zinchenko for a selfie thinking he’s Kevin De Bruyne

The Man City youngster is the spitting image of De Bruyne.

21 year old Ukrainian international Oleksandr Zinchenko looks to have a bright future.

Despite only making four appearances for Manchester City so far, the wing back has made 13 appearances for his country and also drew the attention of Borussia Dortmund before ending up in Manchester.

But he says he’s getting the most attention for being the spitting image of City superstar Kevin De Bruyne. And we have to admit, they do look pretty similar.

This is Zinchenko.

 

And this is De Bruyne.

Yeah, they’re pretty similar.

Speaking to The Telegraph, he says that fans keep mistaking him for the Belgian:

Everyone calls me ‘Kev’. When I’m getting the bus, the fans are shouting ‘Kev, can I have a picture?’ Then I turn and they’re like ‘Oh, it’s not Kevin’.

Zinchenko is worried about the comparisons though, as he thinks he is far better looking:

From afar maybe we look like twins, but when we are together, I don’t think so. I am more beautiful than him, definitely.

What do you think? Could you tell them apart?
