Aleksander Zinchenko goes to Ajax

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 spent the first half of the season at Nottingham Forest after falling out of favor under Mikel Arteta. ARSENAL but the 29-year-old has made just ten appearances in all competitions for Forest and has struggled to make a significant impact at the City Ground – not helped by the club’s managerial merry-go-round this season.

According to De Telegraaf, Zinchenko may have played for Forest for the last time, with Ajax agreeing a six-month loan deal for the Ukrainian, ‘subject to a few details’.

It is claimed that Ajax’s hierarchy have been in direct contact with Zinchenko’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and negotiations are underway between the two clubs.

In recent weeks, Neco Williams has emerged as Forest’s left-back, despite being naturally right-footed. Sean Dyche appeared to pave the way for Zinchenko’s departure on Thursday when he faced the media.

‘We spoke to the player and made him clear about his situation. He is aware of that, so we will see what happens,” the forest manager told reporters.

‘He has played a few games but has not featured in other games. He’s injured. That didn’t help him or us. I’ve actually just been open with him. It’s like I say: I’m open to all players.

“But I think when you’ve done as much as he has in the game, it’s more of a conversation. I demand nothing more than just telling him the truth as I see it. And that’s how much he can calculate, how much playing time he’s going to get at this point.”

Zinchencho needed this transfer, the move to Nottingham Forest did not work out and leaving the Premier League for the Dutch league is a great decision. And if he performs well, he might get a permanent move to Ajax.
