Overview
- Sean Dyche said the club has spoken with Zinchenko about his situation, confirming the player has been made aware of Forest’s stance.
- The season-long loan reportedly has no early break or recall clause, and Arsenal’s full squad and left-back depth lessen the likelihood of a return.
- Zinchenko has struggled for minutes at Forest with around 10 appearances and few league starts, and he is ineligible to face Arsenal this weekend.
- Forest have replaced him in their Europa League squad and are prioritising a striker in January as injuries and squad needs shape their plans.
- Speculative reports have linked possible suitors such as West Ham, Everton and Burnley, which would depend on a negotiated resolution between the clubs and player.
