Oleksandr Zinchenko is set to leave Arsenal, with Ajax agreeing a deal to sign the Ukrainian international on loan in a move that effectively ends his Premier League chapter.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has given the deal his trademark “here we go”, confirming that Oleksandr Zinchenko will travel to Amsterdam within the next 24 hours to complete medical tests ahead of the switch.

Ajax have reached a verbal agreement with Arsenal over a loan move running until June, with the Dutch giants set to cover Zinchenko’s full salary for the remainder of the season.

Taking to X, Romano reported:

“Ajax verbally agree on deal to sign Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal, here we go! Agreement in place over loan until June, leaving Nottingham Forest. Zinchenko will fly in next 24h for medical tests in Amsterdam. Ajax will cover his salary, deal in place”
