Bournemouth’s interest in Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal could be a game-changer for both clubs. After missing out on Evanilson from Porto, the Cherries are eager to secure a reliable striker before the season kicks off. With Dominic Solanke off to Tottenham for a hefty £65 million, Bournemouth needs to fill the void quickly.
Nketiah, who was close to joining Marseille before they opted for the Gunners, now finds himself back on the market. Arsenal’s £26 million price tag may be negotiable, but with Bournemouth’s desperation, the North Londoners could leverage a higher fee.
This potential deal might also expedite Arsenal’s hunt for a marquee striker, with Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres reportedly at the top of their list. As Nketiah edges closer to an exit, the Gunners could soon make their move for the Swedish international.
