Marseille has stepped up their efforts to sign Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah and have submitted an improved proposal for the Arsenal forward, indicating their intent to bolster their attacking options with a significant investment.
According to The Athletic, the French giants’ new proposal is close to €20 million (£16.8 million), similar to their previous attempt, but the payment structure aligns with Arsenal’s demand. Despite the improved bid, the Gunners will likely consider Marseille’s offer to be significantly below their asking price for the 25-year-old striker. Negotiations will continue with Arsenal aiming for the best possible deal for a player who has already proven himself in the Premier League.
