The club have completed a surprise late loan move for Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Ukrainian left-back joins from Arsenal on a season-long loan. Nottingham Forest acted quickly, submitting the required paperwork before the transfer deadline closed.
The deal emerged after the clubβs attempt to sign Javi GalΓ‘n collapsed. Zinchenko became the fallback option and the club secured him just in time.
Their football department praised Zinchenkoβs pedigree. They highlighted the defenderβs success with previous clubs and said Nottingham Forest are delighted to complete the signing.
Zinchenko himself shared his excitement after the move. He posted to fans, saying he is happy to join the club and is eager for the season ahead.
At Arsenal, Zinchenko had fallen down the pecking order. He faced competition from emerging talents and new signings, limiting his playing time. A loan to Nottingham Forest offers him a chance to play regularly again.
For the club, this is a boost. Zinchenko brings experience and versatility, able to play both in defence and midfield. He adds depth and quality to the squad, just as Nottingham Forest prepare to compete in domestic and European competitions.
Fans will be watching closely. With his experience at top clubs and leadership skills, Zinchenko could be an important addition for Nottingham Forest this season. His arrival marks a key moment in their late summer business.
