Sources: Arsenal star’s agent travels for face-to-face talks as summer move reignited

Representatives of Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah have flown to France to try and finalise a deal with Marseille.

Nketiah is one of several players who has been put up for sale by Arsenal this summer as they look to bring in transfer funds for some of their own signings. Emile Smith Rowe has already left for Fulham after previously breaking through at Arsenal, and Nketiah might follow him out of the Emirates.

The centre-forward has been linked with fellow Premier League sides such as West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Everton. But in recent weeks, all the talk has been about a possible move to French club Marseille.

The Ligue 1 outfit are enjoying a big summer, having signed Mason Greenwood from Manchester United and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Tottenham Hotspur as they prepare for an exciting new era under Roberto de Zerbi.

The former Brighton coach has been crucial to Marseille landing such big names and he is understood to be a fan of Nketiah too.

Marseille have made contact with Arsenal on several occasions as they try to sign the one-cap England international.
