The French club, aiming to revamp 80% of its starting lineup, has significantly accelerated negotiations for the 25-year-old English international.
L'Equipe 23 July, 2024 - It's moving forward for NketiahThe Marseille club, which is about to change 80% of its starting 11 this summer window, continues to activate on all fronts and is making good progress on the Arsenal striker's file. Nketiah, who made 27 Premier League appearances and scored five goals last season, has reportedly agreed to personal terms with OM. The club, led by president Pablo Longoria, is seeking to defer payment for the transfer by a year through the loan structure.
Nketiah is said to be enticed by the challenge at Marseille, who recently sold former Arsenal captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Al-Qadsiah.
While Arsenal has obviously not officially commented on the reports, the move seems imminent. Nketiah's departure would mark another significant change in Arsenal's attacking lineup this summer and the biggest indication yet that another attacker will arrive this summer.
