ARSENAL are reportedly ready to cut Oleksandr Zinchenko’s loan at Nottingham Forest short after agreeing a deal with Ajax.
Zinchenko, 29, has made just five Premier League appearances since joining Forest on a season-long loan at the start of the season with the club happy to let him leave.
SunSport understands that there is no break clause in the current loan agreement, which means Forest are unable to send the Ukrainian back to the Emirates.
Arsenal also have a full squad that would not be able to accommodate his return to North London.
However, Dutch outlet De Telegraaf claim that a solution has been found, with Ajax agreeing a deal that would see Zinchenko join the Eredivisie outfit for the remainder of the season.
It’s claimed that Zinchenko is keen on the move and a deal has been agreed, subject to a few details.
Zinchenko is out of contract at Arsenal in the summer, with the versatile left-back expected to leave on the expiration of his deal.
Forest manager Sean Dyche revealed he has held talks with the ex-Man City ace about his future earlier this week.
He said: “We have spoken to the player, made it clear in his situation, he is aware of that so we will see what happens.
“We will see what happens, we are being open with him, he is a thorough professional, he has been and I am sure he will be going forward.”

It was Dyche’s Forest who held Arsenal to a goalless draw on Saturday as the Gunners failed to capitalise on the opportunity to go nine points clear at the top of the table.
Mikel Arteta‘s side went seven points above Man City with the draw, but will rue the missed chance to take advantage of City’s 2-0 Manchester derby defeat.
