Nottingham Forest Weigh Early End to Oleksandr Zinchenko Loan
Sparse minutes have triggered a rethink, with any Arsenal return constrained by a full squad and the absence of a break clause.
Overview
- BBC Sport reporting cited by multiple outlets says Forest are considering cutting short the season-long loan agreed in the summer.
- Zinchenko has struggled for minutes at the City Ground, logging just 10 appearances in all competitions, including five in the Premier League.
- Yahoo Sports notes there is no break clause in the loan, and Arsenal’s squad list is already full, complicating any midseason reintegration.
- Arsenal’s left side has been reinforced this season, with Riccardo Calafiori impressing and Myles Lewis-Skelly emerging, while Piero Hincapié has also covered the role.
- Football Insider identifies West Ham, Everton and Burnley as potential January destinations if Forest and Arsenal agree to end the loan early.
