"Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche revealed that the club has held talks with Oleksandr Zinchenko regarding his future. The defender is currently on loan from Arsenal, who they face in the Premier League on Saturday, but has struggled for gametime this season. Zinchenko has featured in just five league games and three Europa League matches, while he was also replaced at half-time in their FA Cup third-round defeat to Wrexham."
"Dyche confirmed that he has held conversations with the 29-year-old but did not disclose whether he would be staying or leaving. "We have spoken to the player and made it clear in his situation," said Dyche. "He is aware of that, so we will see what happens. "We are being very open with him. He is a thorough professional, he has been, and I am sure he will be going forward, no matter what.""
"Martin Zubimendi was on target in their win at Stamford Bridge; he has scored two goals across his last five games for Arsenal, as many strikes as in his first 23 appearances for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta praised the Spaniard's performance against the Blues, while comparing him to fellow midfielder Declan Rice. "Well, I think when we talk about Zubi, it's what else can he do? He can do whatever he wants, it's a bit similar to Declan's qualities," said Arteta."
Oleksandr Zinchenko, on loan at Nottingham Forest from Arsenal, has struggled for game time this season, appearing in five league games and three Europa League matches. He was substituted at half-time in the FA Cup third-round defeat to Wrexham, and his omission from Forest's Europa League squad in favor of Ola Aina further cast doubt on his short-term future. Manager Sean Dyche confirmed the club has spoken with the 29-year-old, stating they have been open with him and calling him a thorough professional. Arsenal have regained momentum; Martin Zubimendi scored at Stamford Bridge and Mikel Arteta praised his versatile qualities.
