Eddie Nketiah’s potential Arsenal exit has suffered a blow as one of his Premier League suitors has reportedly agreed to sign another striker in a club-record deal – but an Emirates departure is still a possibility.
Nketiah has been the subject of transfer speculation for several transfer windows now, but for the time being, he remains an Arsenal player.
