Report: Arsenal have interest from Germany and England for Eddie Nketiah

Arsenal are reportedly fielding interest from clubs in Germany and England about Eddie Nketiah, who is still yet to sign a new contract.

The 22-year-old has, so far, failed to put pen to paper on a new deal with the Gunners, despite being offered fresh terms.

Nketiah is currently free to leave in 2022, prompting a delicate situation to emerge with the North London club and the youngster.

And The Athletic have now reported that Nketiah is likely to be sold this summer, with the Gunners fielding enquiries from both Germany and England so far in the window.

Nketiah returned to Arsenal following a good loan spell with Leeds United the season prior. He initially seemed to be in Mikel Arteta’s plans, too.

The Gunners boss labelled Nketiah as ‘extraordinary’ back in the summer of 2020. But since then, the forward has dipped off.

Nketiah scored just the two goals last season. He started only four Premier League games, although he did hit three goals in just eight Europa League outings.

Time’s up for Nketiah

Another young player who promised so much but hasn’t quite delivered unfortunately.

The time is probably right for Eddie Nketiah to move on. He needs regular football, whether that be abroad, in the Championship, or if a PL team takes a punt on him.

There is definitely something there with Nketiah. He has a striker’s instinct few have, but at times he goes missing. That’s a big area of his game that he needs to work on.

If Arsenal can get some money, then this deal makes sense for everyone.
