Olympique Marseille is close to finalizing a deal to sign Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah. The move is expected to be a loan with an obligation to buy.
Nketiah, 25, has agreed to personal terms with Marseille, according to L’Équipe. This transfer is part of a broader plan by Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi, who aims to overhaul 80% of his starting eleven.
The French club is making significant progress in negotiations with Arsenal. Nketiah is seen as a replacement for former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who recently left Marseille for Al-Qadisah.
The deal, once completed, will mark a significant step in Marseille’s efforts to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
