Arsenal are pulling out all of the stops to keep Eddie Nketiah.
They are facing a massive battle to keep him as SIX Premier League clubs - including Crystal Palace and West Ham - want to sign him and TWO major European clubs are also keen. Arsenal remain hopeful of being able to strike a deal after holding further talks with Nketiah’s representatives as the 22-year-old is out of contract this summer.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is desperate to hang on to Nketiah despite only giving him a proper run in the team during the past few weeks. Nketiah has started Arsenal’s last five games, scored four goals and the club are willing to dramatically increase his salary from being one of the lowest paid first teamers as a former academy graduate into being a big earner.
