Arsenal are prepared to entertain offers for Eddie Nketiah this summer, and a bidding war seems imminent, with four Premier League clubs vying for his signature.
Despite featuring regularly last season with 37 appearances across all competitions and scoring six goals, Nketiah often found himself coming off the bench. While he enjoyed a stint in the Gunners’ starting lineup early in the season, earning his first England cap in the process, his opportunities dwindled, with his last Premier League start dating back to December.
With Arsenal heavily linked to RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, Nketiah’s prospects for playing time at the Emirates look increasingly bleak. The 25-year-old forward is eager for more regular first-team action elsewhere, and Arsenal reluctantly acknowledges the need to part ways with their academy graduate to bolster their transfer budget.
According to reports from The Sun, Fulham lead the race to secure Nketiah’s services, with Crystal Palace, Everton, and Wolves also expressing interest. Fulham are reportedly willing to offer up to £30 million for the striker, although Arsenal hope that competition for his signature will drive up the price.
Everton, facing financial constraints, are considering a season-long loan deal for Nketiah, an option not dismissed by Arsenal. However, a permanent transfer appears more probable, as the Gunners seek funds to reinforce their striking options.
