The news that nearly broke the Arsenal fan base when it was revealed that the Gunners were closing on a deal to renew Eddie Nketiah's contract. Despite it appearing very likely for months that he would move on, he looks now destined to stay.
To achieve this, however, Arsenal are paying. Big time. Reports suggest that Nketiah would earn £100,000-per-week with a £5million bonus paid out across the five-year contract.
Effectively, were Nketiah to complete the deal, Arsenal would have committed £31million to the striker including bonus and wages should the report be accurate - and Nketiah maximise his bonuses. This is quite the financial investment considering Nketiah, until the last nine games, has never nailed down a regular spot in the Arsenal team.
