Fulham ‘willing’ to pay £30m to sign former Leeds United man while Everton ‘interested’ in loan
Few players have had their futures speculated about more in recent months than Nketiah, who managed just 10 league starts for Arsenal last season. In a blow to his hopes of becoming a regular starter, the Gunners have been reported as being in the market for a new frontman.
RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko has been linked, while there has also been talk of interest in Sporting Lisbon marksman Viktor Gyokeres. Nketiah, meanwhile, is said to be on the radar of a host of Premier League clubs.
Nketiah joined Leeds on loan in 2019, with the intention of developing senior experience that would push him up the pecking order at Arsenal. He was used mostly as an impact substitute by the Whites, returning to his parent club midway through the season.
Although he has since amassed over 150 appearances in an Arsenal shirt, Nketiah has not nailed down a regular starting spot in the frontline. There has been speculation regarding his future for months and it appears he could be on the move this summer.
According to The Sun, Fulham are willing to pay up to £30m for the marksman and are said to be in pole position. Wolves and Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are described as “likely” to provide competition for his signature. In recent months, he has also been linked with Leicester City and Brentford.
