Arsenal could sell Eddie Nketiah, who is a target of West Ham United for a reported fee of £40 million.

Nketiah has been linked with a move to the London Stadium in recent months, alongside Crystal Palace and Brentford.

These teams are searching for a focal poacher upfront, with Edward Nketiah seen as the best option available.

Reports indicate that the Gunners will sanction a move for Nketiah in 2024, to also be able to find other signings that they are interested in.

It is believed that the England international will remain until the end of the 2023/24 season, however, a January exit for the forward cannot be thrown under the carpet.

Edward Nketiah has an impressive level of experience in the Premier League, which could be helpful to West Ham United.


The former Leeds United man had a decent showing in the 2022/23 season, helping Arsenal in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

Additionally, if he doesn't exit the club in the January transfer window, and he clocks in amazing performances in the 2nd half of the season, he could well go for an amount bigger than the current price tag.

Edward Nketiah is currently playing second fiddle to Gabriel Jesus at Arsenal after the former Manchester City man returned from a hamstring injury.

Nketiah's contract will reportedly run until June 2027, after he signed a contract extension in 2022.

The Englishman has made 155 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 38 goals and providing 9 assists in all competitions.

If he joins West Ham United, he will have to battle for the striking position alongside Jamaican forward Michail Antonio.

Meanwhile, Brentford are interested in signing Eddie Nketiah due to the possibility of losing Ivan Toney in the coming months.

Toney, who is currently suspended from football due to gambling-related activities, has been a target of several Premier League clubs including Arsenal.

There could be the possibility of a cash+player deal between Mikel Arteta's side and Brentford, which will see Nketiah go the other way, while Toney joins the North London club for an amount.

Crystal Palace are also keen on the 1-cap England international, in order to have a striker that they can trust to deliver the goals when the need arises.

Eddie Nketiah has predominantly been at Arsenal since his teenage years, and his only experience away from the club was with Leeds United in 2019.

The 24-year-old made 19 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist in all competitions.

It will be interesting to see how he fits in at any of the clubs currently said to be interested in him, and how he will shoulder the potential incoming goalscoring responsibility.
