COMPLETED TRANSFERS: “Great job, Edu Gaspar! You’ve silenced your critics.” Following the sale of Emile Smith Rowe, Arsenal is set to earn £50M from the combined sale of two academy graduates.

Arsenal is set to earn another significant sum from the sale of one of their academy graduates, following the recent £30 million they received for Emile Smith Rowe.

Now, the club is on the verge of securing a similar amount for Eddie Nketiah, whose time at the Emirates seems to be nearing its end.

As reported by The Athletic, Arsenal is ready to let Nketiah leave for Olympique Marseille. The proposed deal includes a season-long loan with a mandatory purchase clause, amounting to roughly €30 million. Nketiah, aged 25, has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the French club and is expected to sign a five-year contract.

The decision now lies with Marseille as they contemplate whether to finalize the transfer. Nketiah had a decent season at Arsenal, contributing five goals and two assists in 27 appearances, many of which were as a substitute.

The competition for attacking roles at Arsenal has grown due to the arrival of new signings and the presence of other established forwards, leading to the potential move.

Marseille’s interest in Nketiah stems from their desire to bolster their squad with a proven goalscorer. The club aims to seriously contend for the Ligue 1 title, and they believe Nketiah’s experience and scoring ability could be crucial to their success. If the transfer is completed, Nketiah would join a club with a rich history and high ambitions.

The prospect of securing a regular starting role has reportedly attracted Nketiah, who is eager to make a significant impact in French football.

The next few days will be pivotal in determining the outcome of this transfer story, with both Arsenal and Marseille supporters closely following the developments.

Should the move be finalized, Nketiah’s transition to the south of France would mark a new chapter in the young striker’s career, giving him the chance to play a key role in Marseille’s quest for domestic success.
