Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has been linked with a move away from the North London club this summer, with Marseille keen.
Eddie Nketiah has been linked with a move to Ligue 1 club Marseille, and the 25-year-old is now taking a pay cut to get the deal done. According to a report by Football Transfers, Arsenal want to expedite the exit of the striker, and it remains to be seen whether they can get his £100,000-a-week salary off their wage bill.
Nketiah is not a key part of their first-team plans, and he needs to leave the club to play regularly. His departure will allow Arsenal to improve their attacking unit as well. They need to bring in a reliable striker this summer. Gabriel Jesus was quite underwhelming last season, and he scored just four goals in the league.
Arsenal will be hoping to compete for the league title next season, and they need to bring in a quality striker this summer. They need someone who can score goals consistently and lead the line for them. It will be interesting to see if they can secure the right additions before the summer transfer window closes. Eddie Nketiah has been linked with Everton as well.
Nketiah needs to play more often
The Arsenal striker will look to get his career back on track with regular football. He needs to play more often at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at a big club is unlikely to benefit him. A move to Marseille could be ideal for him, and personal terms have never been an issue. They will provide him with the platform to showcase his abilities consistently at a high level.
Regular football in France could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential. He has shown his quality during his chaos in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he is good enough to succeed in Ligue 1.
It will be interesting to see if he can impress at the Ligue 1 club next season. If he manages to showcase his qualities consistently, he might be able to secure a move to a big club in the near future.
