Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko is set to join Ajax on a short-term loan until the end of the campaign, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Ukrainian fell out-of-favour at the beginning of the campaign and he was loaned out to Nottingham Forest for the entire season.

However, the Tricky Trees recently requested to terminate his deal and the Gunners have now agreed to loan him out to Ajax instead.

Zinchenko has signed for the Dutch heavyweights until the summer after which he will be eligible to choose his next club on a free.

His current deal with Arsenal expires at the end of June and the north London giants have no plans of negotiating a renewal with him.

Zinchenko could be one of several players departing the Gunners during the summer transfer window as they prepare for another spending spree.

Gabriel Jesus could be on his way out with reports suggesting that Palmeiras are keen on landing his signature for a bargain fee.
