Oleksandr Zinchenko has joined Ajax in a permanent transfer.
Alex’s season-long loan with Nottingham Forest has been ended by mutual consent, and the defender now moves to the Netherlands to join the Eredivisie side.
The 29-year-old arrived from Manchester City in July 2022 and made 91 appearances in all competitions during his three seasons with us.
Ukraine international Alex became his country’s youngest goalscorer at the age of 19, as well as their youngest captain at the age of 24. He has made 75 appearances for his country and was named Ukrainian Footballer of the Year in 2019.
We thank Alex for his contribution to the club and wish him and his family well in their new chapter.
The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
