Ajax Reach Agreement in Principle to Sign Zinchenko on Loan From Arsenal

Forest’s early termination opens a brief return to Arsenal before a switch to Amsterdam.

Overview

  • De Telegraaf and multiple UK outlets report a deal for a loan until June is agreed pending final details and paperwork.
  • BBC reporting indicates the expected route is Forest ending the current loan, a short administrative return to Arsenal, then an immediate move to Ajax.
  • Fabrizio Romano says the player will travel to Amsterdam within 24 hours for a medical, with Ajax set to cover his salary during the loan.
  • Agent involvement is cited, with Jorge Mendes in contact for the player and Dutch intermediary Nathan van Kooperen handling talks between clubs.
  • Zinchenko has struggled for minutes at Forest after injuries and competition, and Ajax view him as cover at left-back and potentially as a No. 6 with a view to a permanent deal when his Arsenal contract ends this summer.
