Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah will likely leave the North London club this summer, and Fulham are keen on signing him.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Fulham are preparing an offer to sign 25-year-old Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah. The two London clubs are in talks over a possible move in the summer transfer window.
Nketiah needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Arsenal will not be able to provide him with that platform. The Gunners already have players like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus ahead of him in the pecking order. In addition, they are keen on signing a new striker, with Benjamin Sesko a target.
The 25-year-old needs to focus on his development and join a club where he will get regular opportunities. Fulham need a quality striker, and Nketiah can lead the line for them. He should prove to be a solid acquisition. The Englishman has shown his quality in the Premier League during his cameos, and he is certainly good enough to start for most midtable clubs.
Nketiah is still young enough to improve further and he has plenty of time to fulfil his potential. Regular football at Fulham would be ideal for him. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old is well settled in English football, and he could make an instant impact at the London club. Selling him would bring in the funds for Arsenal to invest in their own squad as well. It would be ideal for all parties.
Fulham need a quality striker
Fulham had a mediocre 2023/24 campaign, and they will look to push for a more respectable finish in the league table next year. They will need to plug the gaps in their squad during the summer transfer window. Improving the attacking unit should be their top priority.
Fulham have an impressive squad but they failed to score goals consistently last year. Signing someone like Eddie Nketiah could prove to be a wise decision. It will be interesting to see Fulham can convince Arsenal with the substantial offer in the coming weeks.
The Gunners are unlikely to sanction his departure for cheap. The striker is thought to be on the radar of a number of clubs, and he has been linked with a summer exit heavily. However, Fulham are in pole position to land him. Arsenal will be hoping to make the most of the situation and recoup a premium for him.
