Arsenal are active in the transfer business, firming up their club ahead of the season's stop
As the Gunners work to strengthen their club, Fleet director Mikel Arteta is about to produce a significant sales.
As Arsenal reduce their part ahead of acquisitions, Arteta has focused more on expenditures this summertime, with Emile Smith Rowe making the biggest return. The northern Britons have struggled to market in recent months, with their record sales remaining Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for around £35 million to Liverpool, again in 2017.
But with Arteta wanting to bring in fresh deals, exits are a necessity, as the team looks to minimize the income expenses.
David Ornstein, a journalist for The Athletic, reports that Arsenal have prepared a fresh deal for Marseille to consider after Eddie Nketiah leaves.
The centre-forward has found enjoying time exceedingly difficult to come by at Arsenal, starting simply ten Premier League games this time- the last of which was on New Year's Eve- and sitting on the bench for the last six games of the plan. That has led the team to look for a new house for the 25-year-old, with Roberto de Zerbi's Marseille expressing an interest and agreeing individual terms with Nketiah but yet to join Arsenal's asking price.
The Ligue 1 side's most recent offer last month was reportedly in the region of €20m ( £16.8m ), which was closer to what Arsenal wanted but still not enough to give the deal the green light. Arsenal have now proposed a season-long loan with an obligation to buy Nketiah next summer for a €30m ( £25.2m ) permanent transfer fee, and are awaiting Marseille's reply.
Nketiah is a student of Arsenal's club and reached double figures of goals in all events in 2021/22, but has never really been able to make the number 9 part his own.
As Arsenal attempted to challenge for the title in the end, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus were both chosen as their center-forwards. The Gunners pushed Manchester City all the way to the final day of the season, but victories for both sides meant Arsenal finished two points shy of first place.
