Emile Smith Rowe: Arsenal and French team Olympique de Marseille are close to reaching an agreement for English striker Eddie Nketiah with a loan deal consisting of an obligation to buy for 30 million euros demanded by Arsenal. The decision is now up to Marseille.

The two sides have been in negotiation for Nketiah for quite a while and Marseille had previously submitted an offer near 20 million euros which fell short of Arsenal’s value of the striker as reported by The Athletic.

Marseille and Eddie Niketiah’s camp have been in negotiations and are said to have already agreed to a five-year deal which they will sign once the transfer details are sorted by the clubs.
