Arsenal are positive about Eddie Nketiah’s contract extension.
The Gunners are in the market for a new striker as both senior players Aubameyang and Lacazatte have already departed the club.
The club needs a lethal presence upfront and have cited Gabriel Jesus as their primary target this summer.
On the other hand, academy player Eddie Nketiah will put pen to paper on a new deal this summer as was reported back in May.
Goal’s Arsenal correspondent Charles Watts believes he is confident Nketiah will extend his stay at Arsenal.
He said: “My understanding of the situation when it comes to Nketiah – it’s progressing pretty well. I don’t think anything has changed.
“Obviously, until it’s signed, you can’t say for 100% certain that he’s going to stay, but even yesterday [Thursday] I was talking to someone at the club and the signs are that they’re going pretty well and they do think Eddie Nketiah will commit his future to the Arsenal.”
