It seems that the transfer window is always buzzing with the latest news and rumors, and this summer is no different. Everton, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace have all been linked to a top player - Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah. But now, there's another club in the mix. Reports suggest that Everton has joined the race to sign Nketiah, as AFC Bournemouth turned down the opportunity to bring him on board.
Initially, Bournemouth had been considering a move for Nketiah after selling Dominic Solanke to Tottenham. However, they ended up signing Evanilson instead, in a record-breaking deal for the club. Since then, Nketiah has been linked to Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace is still keeping an eye on him. But now, Everton has stepped in, according to Football Insider. They are hoping to secure a loan deal for Nketiah for the upcoming 2024-25 season.
Currently, Nketiah has three years left on his Arsenal contract and is eager to secure regular first-team football. Despite his potential and talent, he has struggled to cement his place in the Gunners' starting lineup. In fact, in his 168 games for Arsenal, he has only scored 38 goals. However, last season, he caught the attention of former player and manager Tim Sherwood, who praised him after he scored a hat-trick against Sheffield United. Sherwood believes that Nketiah is more than capable of playing for any team.
But it seems that Arsenal is determined to offload Nketiah. The club is reportedly desperate to get rid of him. However, Sherwood feels sorry for the young striker, as he believes that people are quick to focus on what he can't do, rather than appreciating his abilities. In fact, Sherwood even suggests that Nketiah would be an upgrade for Manchester United, who recently spent a hefty amount on Rasmus Hojlund. According to Sherwood, Nketiah is "top draw" and deserves to play for a top team in the Premier League.
It's clear that Nketiah has caught the attention of many clubs, and it remains to be seen where he will end up. But one thing is for sure - he has the potential to make a big impact in the world of football. As fans eagerly await any updates on this transfer saga, let's hope that Nketiah gets the opportunity to shine and prove his worth on the pitch.
