The transfer window has officially closed, but clubs were allowed to submit deal<\/a> sheets between 17:00 BST and 19:00 BST to allow them to complete deals past the 19:00 BST deadline. This only works if both clubs in a deal have reached an agreement already. Nottingham Forest and Arsenal appear to have done this, with Oleksandr Zinchenko set for a last-minute loan to the East Midlands.<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest Confirm Huge Last-Minute Coup<\/h2>\n

Straight Loan for Oleksandr Zinchenko<\/h3>\n

David Ornstein has revealed <\/a>that Nottingham Forest have managed to secure the services of Zinchenko for the 2025\/26 season. They found a “last-minute agreement” with Arsenal for the left-back, and he will now join on a straight loan. This means that there will be no option or obligation to buy.<\/p>\n

They reportedly submitted a deal sheet when their move for Javi Galan<\/a> collapsed<\/a>. An agreement had originally been met, with Fabrizio Romano giving his “Here We Go” for the transfer, but documents were not ready in time for it to go through.<\/p>\n

Both Arsenal and Forest are “confident” that this one was done in time, as the 21:00 BST deadline has passed for deal sheet transfers.<\/p>\n

Perfect Alternative to Javi Galan<\/h3>\n

Forest were bringing Galan in as they required another left-back; Neco Williams did not really have a strong back-up. However, Galan also provided experience, both as a top-flight player but also in European competition. Zinchenko has exactly that: he has won four Premier League titles with Manchester City and has played in seven different Champions League campaigns.<\/p>\n
