Arsenal Transfer Exit to Be Completed Soon as Player Flies Out to Make Permanent Move

Arsenal agrees to a £1.5 million transfer fee plus Champions League-linked add-ons for Zinchenko after loan termination at Nottingham Forest, pending medical and contract finalization.

  • On Thursday, Arsenal approved a transfer of Zinchenko to Ajax for £1.5m plus UCL‑linked add‑ons, with paperwork being completed.
  • Dutch non‑EU‑work permit rules required a high minimum salary, prompting Ajax and the clubs to prefer a sale over a loan, per reports.
  • Romano reported that earlier this week Arsenal and Nottingham Forest agreed to terminate Oleksandr Zinchenko's loan, accelerating talks after Ajax set a deadline, with the permanent move finalised on Friday.
  • With Ajax third in the Eredivisie, Fred Grim said he hopes the signing will help them return to Europe's elite next season after a disappointing campaign.
  • While paperwork remains to be finalised, Romano posted that Zinchenko will fly to Amsterdam on Friday to sign, with van Kooperen brokering the deal.
