Ajax are in talks over a loan move for Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Dutch club is exploring a temporary deal for the Ukrainian international as the January transfer window progresses. This follows a period of limited playing time for Zinchenko at the Emirates this season.

Zinchenko joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022 but has struggled to secure a regular starting role. Ajax, meanwhile, is seeking defensive reinforcements to bolster their Eredivisie and European campaigns. A loan could offer the player more minutes and the Dutch side much-needed experience.

A move would reunite Zinchenko with former Arsenal teammate Jurrien Timber, who joined Ajax last summer. The transfer hinges on personal terms and Arsenal's willingness to approve the loan. Observers will watch if Ajax can finalize the deal before the window closes.
