Ajax Close In on Loan for Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko After Forest Stint

Final approval depends on Forest processing his return to Arsenal, clearing the way for a wages-covered loan with a medical in Amsterdam.

Overview

  • Ajax and Arsenal have a verbal agreement for a loan until June, with multiple reports saying Zinchenko will travel for medical tests in the coming hours.
  • Because the Forest loan lacks a break clause, the switch requires all parties to agree to an official return to Arsenal before registration with Ajax.
  • Ajax are set to cover the 29-year-old’s salary for the remainder of the season, with paperwork and signatures being finalised.
  • Forest head coach Sean Dyche said the club have spoken to Zinchenko and are prepared to let him leave after just 10 appearances, including five in the Premier League.
  • Ajax view Zinchenko as cover at left-back or as a No.6 and are expected to consider a permanent move when his Arsenal contract expires this summer.
