Former Leeds United forward 'contemplating' future amid Fulham, Everton and Wolves interest

The 25-year-old has been unable to cement a regular starting spot at the Emirates Stadium, even if he has never strayed far from the picture. In recent months, speculation regarding his future has been rife with a raft of clubs said to be keen.

Among the clubs to have been linked with the forward are Fulham, who are reportedly willing to pay £30m for his services. Everton have also been credited with interest, as have the likes of Wolves, Crystal Palace and Leicester City.

According to The Athletic, Nketiah is contemplating his future as a Gunner. Arsenal have been strongly linked with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, which would suggest they are still not ready to move Nketiah up the pecking order.

Although Nketiah is well thought of at Arsenal, a sale could prove tempting for the club considering he would represent ‘pure profit’ when it comes to financial fair play regulations.

He has spent the entirety of his professional career on Arsenal’s books having joined the Gunners from Chelsea’s academy nearly a decade ago. Leeds are the only other club he has represented at senior level, as the Whites brought him in on loan in 2019.

Despite showing promise, Nketiah found Patrick Bamford tough to dislodge from the number nine position and was recalled by Arsenal in January 2020. He left West Yorkshire having scored five goals in 19 appearances.
