Arsenal is reluctantly preparing to let Eddie Nketiah leave this summer, despite being highly rated by manager Mikel Arteta. The 24-year-old striker is eager for regular first-team football and has learned he will likely fall further down the pecking order.

Fulham are leading the race for Nketiah, reportedly willing to pay up to £30 million. Crystal Palace, Wolves, and Everton are also interested, with Everton proposing a year-long loan which might appeal to Arsenal. Arsenal, aiming to improve their selling track record, hopes to start a bidding war to drive Nketiah’s price higher. The funds from his sale would be used to target RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who impressed with 18 goals in his debut Bundesliga season.

However, Arsenal will face competition from Manchester United and Chelsea for Sesko. Additionally, Arsenal are rumored to be interested in Ivan Toney and Dominic Solanke, with Nketiah’s departure potentially freeing up funds to pursue one of these targets.

Here is the skills highlight video of Edward Nketiah’s skills and goals.
