Arsenal have reached an agreement in principle to send Oleksandr Zinchenko on loan to Ajax for the remainder of the season, after his loan deal with Nottingham Forest was cut short
Zinchenko has been with Nottingham Forest for the first half of the campaign having fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta at ARSENAL , but the 29-year-old has made just ten appearances in all competitions for Forest, struggling to make a significant impact at the City Ground – not helped by the club’s managerial merry-go-round this term.
According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Zinchenko has likely played for Forest for the last time, with Ajax striking a six-month loan deal for the Ukrainian, ‘subject to a few details’.
It’s claimed Ajax’s hierarchy have been in direct contact with Zinchenko’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs.
In recent weeks, Neco Williams has established himself as Forest’s first-choice left-back, despite being naturally right-footed, and Sean Dyche appeared to pave the way for Zinchenko’s departure when facing the media on Thursday.
‘We’ve spoken to the player, made him clear on his situation. He’s aware of that so we’ll see what happens,’ the Forest manager told reporters.
‘He’s played a couple of games, but hasn’t featured in others. He’s been injured. That hasn’t been helpful to him or to us. I’ve just been open with him, really. It’s like I say, I’m open with all players.
‘But I think when you’ve done as much as he has in the game, it’s more of a conversation. Not demanding anything other than just telling him the truth, as I see it. And that’s how much he can figure out, how much game-time he’s going to get at this time.’
IcFootballnews Says…
Zinchencho needed this move, that switch to Nottingham Forest was not working out and leaving the Premier League for the Dutch League is a great decision. And if he performs well, maybe he will get a permanent switch to Ajax.
