Eddie Nketiah, aged 25, has also been rumored to be a target for French club Marseille this summer. Initially, Arsenal set a price of €35 million for the striker, but discussions have stalled as Marseille did not meet this valuation, even though Nketiah expressed a willingness to lower his salary to facilitate the move.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has suggested that Eddie Nketiah is likely to remain with the club.
