Man United 'in talks' to sign 16-year-old striker after Arsenal rejection

Prior to the January transfer window, Arsenal is willing to sell Oleksandr Zinchenko, although the sale may be hampered by his existing loan agreement. Oleksandr Zinchenko could be permanently sold by Arsenal during the January transfer window, according to TBR. The Gunners’ chances of selling the Ukrainian full-back during the winter transfer window are probably going to be made more difficult by the terms of his current loan at Nottingham Forest.

In an extraordinary summer transfer window, Andrea Berta spearheaded Arsenal’s efforts to add eight new first-team players to the roster. Questions were raised, nevertheless, regarding the club’s capacity to sell players because they did fall short in that area. They were able to get rid of some deadwood, though, during the winter timeframe.

Oleksandr Zinchenko and other key players were anticipated to depart since Arsenal was prepared to consider offers during the transfer window. There were several near misses as Marseille pursued the 28-year-old utility player, but the French powerhouses ultimately decided on another course of action.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is available to leave Arsenal

Zinchenko appeared to be almost certain to remain at Arsenal and complete the last year of his contract, but on the day of the deadline, Nottingham Forest agreed to a loan agreement for the Ukrainian. Despite his modest start to life at the City Ground, there is no assurance that the club will decide to make the signing permanent come summertime.

In contrast, Arsenal is prepared to sell Zinchenko during the January transfer window if given the chance. The 28-year-old utility guy is in the last year of his contract at the Emirates; therefore, he might be available on a Bosman move next summer, which complicates the loan agreement with Forest.

The team still needs to sell well even if it spent record-breaking sums of money on newcomers during the summer window. They are aiming to sell Zinchenko in January, just as they are eager to sell Gabriel Jesus. Only if Forest allows Zinchenko to exit his loan period and then lets Arsenal consider offers from other teams will a sale be feasible.
