Ajax in Discussions for Loan Move of Arsenal Defender Oleksandr Zinchenko
Ajax is currently in discussions regarding a loan move for Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The Ukrainian international is presently on loan at Nottingham Forest, with the agreement set to expire at the end of the season. However, BBC Sport reported on Wednesday that the City Ground club is considering the possibility of terminating the loan early.
Nevertheless, the proposed return of Zinchenko to Arsenal has been complicated by the absence of a provision in the loan agreement that would allow for an early termination.
Moreover, Arsenal considers their squad to be at full capacity and is therefore reluctant to approve Nottingham Forest's request to end the loan agreement at this time.
It is now up to Nottingham Forest to secure a new club for the 29-year-old defender if they wish to offload him.
If all parties agree on a transfer to Ajax, Zinchenko would officially return to Arsenal before immediately heading to Amsterdam.
Zinchenko joined Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day last summer, but he has struggled to make a significant impact, starting only four Premier League matches.
He is expected to depart Arsenal at the end of the season when his contract expires.
