Marseille nears agreement to sign Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal
Olympique de Marseille is on the brink of finalizing a deal to bring Eddie Nketiah to the Stade Vélodrome, as reported by L’Équipe.
The 25-year-old Arsenal striker has agreed to personal terms with the French side, signaling a significant step forward in the negotiations.
Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi is keen on overhauling his squad, and Nketiah is set to be a pivotal addition.
Nketiah’s move to Marseille would fill the void left by former Arsenal teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who recently departed for Al-Qadisah.
The French club has made substantial progress with Arsenal, working out the finer details to secure their academy graduate’s exit from North London.
This transfer isn’t happening in isolation. Just days after announcing the signing of Pierre-Emile Højberg from Tottenham Hotspur, Marseille continues to make bold moves in the market.
De Zerbi’s vision for a revamped starting eleven is taking shape, with Nketiah poised to become a crucial piece of the puzzle.
The excitement around Nketiah’s potential impact is palpable. Known for his pace and sharp finishing, he brings a dynamic edge that could reignite Marseille’s attacking options.
His presence is expected to add much-needed vigor to the squad, especially with other high-profile targets like Alexis Sanchez and Hwang Hee-Chan also on the radar.
As the summer transfer window heats up, Marseille fans eagerly await the official announcement, hopeful that Nketiah’s arrival will signal a new era of success at the Velodrome.
This move could be the catalyst for a thrilling season ahead for Les Phoceens.
