Olympique Marseille poised to renew bid for Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah
30th July 2024
French Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille is set to make a renewed offer for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah, according to Sky Sports.
The initial bid from Marseille did not meet Arsenal's valuation, but the French club is now preparing an enhanced proposal.
The English-Ghanaian forward, who has been part of Arsenal’s pre-season tour in the United States, has featured in both of the team's matches so far.
With three years remaining on his contract, the 25-year-old forward is anticipated to leave Arsenal this transfer window, driven by his desire for regular first-team football.
Under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Nketiah has had limited playing time, making just 27 Premier League appearances and contributing five goals and two assists.
This lack of consistent first-team action has prompted Nketiah to explore new opportunities.
Marseille’s renewed interest reflects their commitment to strengthening their attack, and their pursuit of Nketiah underscores their determination to secure the talented forward’s services.
