Nottingham Forest is considering the option of signing Oleksandr Zinchenko's lease before the end of the season, reports the BBC.

The Ukrainian defender moved to the club in 2025 on loan from Arsenal. China's home ownership is insured until the summer of this fate, since the Grave's contract with the London club is also lost.

It will not be easy to implement such a shortcut. The agreement between the clubs does not have a mechanism for the pre-string release of the loan, and the warehouse for Arsenal is already staffed, which can become an additional change once a football player returns.

This season Zinchenko has played 10 matches in all tournaments. Having left the starting warehouse more than once and still not showing any results.
