Arsenal's potential sale of Eddie Nketiah receives a boost as a new club shows interest following his snub by AFC Bournemouth.

The Gunners of Arsenal are facing a dilemma as they try to offload their struggling striker, Eddie Nketiah. However, their plan has received a boost as Nottingham Forest has expressed their interest in the player after Bournemouth rejected a potential transfer.

Initially, there were reports that Bournemouth was keen on Nketiah, especially after selling their own striker, Dominic Solanke, to Tottenham. But to the dismay of Arsenal, Bournemouth ended up signing Evanilson in a record-breaking deal. This left the Gunners desperate to get rid of their academy graduate during the summer transfer window.

Despite lowering their asking price, Arsenal has been unable to secure an exit for Nketiah. Rumors linked him to Crystal Palace and Marseille, but nothing has materialized so far. However, there is now a glimmer of hope as Sky Sports reports that Forest has suddenly shown interest in signing Nketiah.

With three years remaining on his Arsenal contract, it is believed that Nketiah is looking for regular first-team football. However, the 25-year-old has only managed to score 38 goals in 168 games for Arsenal and has never been able to solidify his spot in the starting lineup.

Meanwhile, the Daily Express suggests that Arsenal has an "obvious swap deal opportunity" with Crystal Palace, which could help them offload Nketiah. They propose that Arsenal should try to sign Eberechi Eze in exchange for Nketiah. But this seems unlikely as Eze is one of Palace's most talented players and would only be sold for a high price.

In a curious turn of events, former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has claimed that Nketiah is a better player than Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund. He even went as far as saying that Nketiah could play for a big team like Manchester United and is an upgrade over Hojlund. However, this statement seems far-fetched and is not shared by many in the football community.

As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen what will happen to Eddie Nketiah and whether Arsenal will be successful in offloading him. Until then, the Gunners will have to continue their search for a suitable buyer for their struggling striker.
