Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah might be on his way out, with French club Olympique de Marseille starting negotiations to sign him. Nketiah has struggled for playing time under Mikel Arteta, who prefers Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus upfront. This potential move aligns with Arsenal’s goal to raise funds during the transfer window.
According to Foot Mercato, Marseille has made an initial bid for Nketiah, who is reportedly interested in the move. Talks between the clubs and negotiations over personal terms for the English striker are ongoing.
