Forest Hold Talks With Zinchenko as Early Loan Exit Considered Despite No Break Clause

Arsenal’s full squad at left-back leaves any January change dependent on a three-way agreement.

Overview

  • Nottingham Forest are weighing an early termination of Oleksandr Zinchenko’s season-long loan from Arsenal, per BBC Sport.
  • Head coach Sean Dyche confirmed the club have spoken to the player about his situation and said they will see what happens.
  • Reports indicate the loan has no break clause, and Arsenal’s squad is already full in Zinchenko’s position, hindering any immediate return.
  • Zinchenko has struggled for minutes at Forest, with five Premier League appearances and roughly 354 league minutes, and he was replaced by Ola Aina in their Europa League squad.
  • Speculation from multiple outlets links West Ham, Everton and Burnley as possible options if Forest negotiate an exit, with any switch contingent on agreement from all parties.
