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.
