PREM star Oleksandr Zinchenko has been hit with a £300,000 tax bill after losing a court battle.
The Arsenal defender was handed the demand for outstanding corporation tax by HMRC.
Zinchenko, on loan to Nottingham Forest, has also got a £35,000 bill from his accountants.
The details emerged when the Ukraine ace, 28, put his image rights company into voluntary liquidation this week.
The company channelled some of his lucrative earnings from a hugely successful career.
His trophy haul includes four Premier League titles with Manchester City before a £30million move to the Gunners.
HMRC had gone to the High Court to shut down Alex Zinchenko Image Rights.
In February, the court heard the case was settled when his team agreed to pay.
But the figures were not revealed.
He was the only shareholder before Ukraine FA official Artemijs Rjabovs took over and changed its name to Ozir Ltd in July.
Zinchenko earns a reported £150,000 a week at the Emirates.
It means it will take him just two weeks to earn enough to settle the bill.
