Nottingham Forest joins race for Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah

Published on: 15 August 2024

Nottingham Forest has emerged as the latest Premier League club to express interest in signing Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah.

The striker, known for his goal-scoring prowess, has caught the attention of several top-flight Premier League teams. Crystal Palace and Bournemouth are reportedly keen on securing his services, adding to the growing list of suitors for the talented player.

Eddie Nketiah, 25, has also been linked with a move to French club Marseille this summer. Arsenal initially sought €35 million for the forward, but negotiations stalled as Marseille failed to meet the asking price, despite Nketiah's willingness to reduce his wages to facilitate the transfer.

With Marseille considering alternative targets like Youssoufa Moukoko and Elye Wahi, Arsenal lowered their asking price to €30 million for a loan deal with an obligation to buy.

However, Marseille's interest remains at around €25 million, leaving Bournemouth with a potential opportunity to secure Eddie Nketiah’s services.

According to Transfermarkt Eddie Nketiah's current value is  30 million euros.
