Negotiations are ongoing between Arsenal and Marseille regarding a deal for Eddie Nketiah
Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah wants to leave the Premier League club to join Marseille ahead of the 2024/25 campaign as talks continue between the two clubs.
According to FootMercato's Santi Aouna, Marseille have submitted an undisclosed offer to Arsenal for the striker as talks continue to agree a transfer fee.
Negotiations are still ongoing with the player as the French club look to agree a personal deal with the Arsenal star. The 25-year-old is believed to want to end his run in Ligue 1 before the new season as he is satisfied with their sporting project.
Marseille are looking to assemble a strong squad for the 2024/25 campaign as they attempt to unseat PSG.
The French giants have already secured the services of Mason Greenwood, Ismael Kone and Bamo Meite so far this summer and are now looking to add Nketiah to their attacking ranks.
Arsenal should cash in on Eddie Nketiah this summer
Nketiah has been at Arsenal throughout his career and has supported many strikers at the Emirates Stadium over the past few years. The 25-year-old has shown that he is a top-class player and deserves to be a starter for another team under the Gunners.
The striker featured in 37 games for the North London club last season as he supported Kai Havertz, scoring six goals and assisting three more in all competitions. This took his numbers at Arsenal up to 168 appearances, with the England star producing 38 goals and seven assists.
The Gunners star would be a great signing for Marseille and a transfer that would suit Arsenal.
Nketiah is a player Mikel Arteta can afford to lose and his sale could help raise funds to bring in new talent. The North London club need to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming campaign as they plan another chance to win the Premier League title.
