Nottingham Forest intend to terminate Zinchenko's loan early

Nottingham Forest are ready to terminate the loan contract of Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko early, journalist Sami Mokbel reports on the X social network, citing the BBC.

According to the source, the agreement does not include a mechanism for early termination of the transfer, so the responsibility for resolving this issue lies with Forest. It is noted that Arsenal's squad is already fully formed, so the club is not waiting for the Ukrainian.

In the 2025/2026 season, Alexander played ten matches at the club level in all competitions, without scoring a goal. Transfermarkt.com estimates his transfer value at 15 million euros. The player's loan is scheduled until the end of the current season, when his employment contract with Arsenal also expires.
