Eddie Nketiah, the young and talented striker for Arsenal, is rumored to be leaving the club this summer. According to reports, Nottingham Forest has made an offer for Nketiah, but it was rejected by Arsenal. However, negotiations are still ongoing for a potential transfer.
It's no surprise that Nketiah is expected to leave the Emirates this summer. In fact, he was very close to joining Marseille just a few weeks ago. Personal terms were agreed upon with the Ligue 1 club, but they were unable to meet Arsenal's valuation of the player. As a result, Nketiah is now open to a move in order to secure regular playing time.
While Bournemouth has recently signed Evanilson from Porto, they have pulled out of the race for Nketiah. However, other Premier League teams such as Crystal Palace and Everton are still interested in the one-time England international. But it seems that Nuno Espirito Santo's team is leading the race, with reports stating that Nketiah is their top priority for a new No.9.
Nottingham Forest has already made an offer of £25 million, including add-ons, but it was rejected by Arsenal. Negotiations between the two clubs are still ongoing, as well as talks between Forest and Nketiah's representatives. It is believed that Arsenal is looking for a fee of £30-£35 million for their academy graduate, who still has three years left on his contract.
Last season, Nketiah only started 10 Premier League games and scored six goals in 37 appearances across all competitions. He faced tough competition from players like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, who were ahead of him in the pecking order. In their first game of the season, Nketiah was not even used as a substitute, while Forest drew 1-1 with Bournemouth.
As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen where Nketiah will end up. But one thing is for sure, he is a promising player with a bright future ahead of him. And with the transfer window still open, there is still time for a potential move to be made. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
