EDDIE NKETIAH is set to sign a new long-term deal at Arsenal that will see him net £100,000 a week, according to reports.
The Gunners striker is out of contract this summer, but after an impressive end to the season which saw him score five goals in eight games, Nketiah and Arsenal changed their respective stances.
And now according to Fabrizio Romano, Nketiah is set to sign a new deal which will keep him at The Emirates until 2027.
The 22-year-old had been playing as deputy to Frenchman Alexandre Lacazette, but his lack of goals continued to be a detriment to the Arsenal strike force before being dropped for Nketiah.
Arsenal are set to sign at least one striker this summer, with a whole host of names including Gabriel Jesus, Victor Osimhen and Dominic Calvert-Lewin linked with a transfer.
Nketiah was wanted by West Ham, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and two Bundesliga clubs, but now he is set to cement his status as a senior Arsenal player thanks to this new deal.
The Daily Mail have reported that the Hale End graduate's new contract will see him earn a hefty £100,000 per week.
Their report also claims Nketiah could earn as much as £5million in bonuses on top of his basic wage.
The new deal will allow the club to invest funds into a higher quality transfer elsewhere.
Mikel Arteta is said to be in the market for a new central midfielder and a defender.

better to offer him 100k than buy another flop for 70mill and pay him 250k per week

guy scores 5 goals, literally a 3rd choice striker who didn't even get a start til laca started to misfire and we give him a 5 year contract for 100k? I know for a fact we ain't paying him 100k to rub the bench, didn't arteta himself said he's getting the wages under control what kinda scam is this!?
we are giving 30k to saka.The whole figure itself is a joke.Arteta likes b!tches he can control.

I don't think so. I think he is the main striker from now on. Maybe they will sign back up for small amount of money. I thinkbthe contract means they don't want another striker to lead the attack
SMH not good

I understand your view and trust me i was thinking the same before but if we sell nketiah we need to buy atleast 1 first team quality striker and an able rotation striker which will cost atleast 100 mill combined but if we can tie down nketiah we can save atleast 30 to 40 mil now and can sell him in a years time or 2 if he is just average for atleast 20 million after all he is a young emgland striker with an eye for goal. So long term tou can save atleast 50mil if we toe down this guy now.

We didn’t see the team as European team at the start of the season but with the motivation and hard work of the players it took us to 5th position in the league without January transfer…i think the team can do better next week with some good signings
Everything is riding on the transfer window we have this summer, if we have a good summer like you said then only we can progress. Simply can't afford to lose any more ground to our rivals at this point.

Well said, we need a striker who can do both jobs very well, the modern game demands it. Arsenal could be left behind by Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and if we're very careless from now, even Leicester, Aston Villa and Newcastle could surpass us in the coming years.

I understand you but we already got the possession in the team we only need a striker to bang in goals…imagine gnabry and Jesus with saka upfront and martinelli,Rowe Nketiah on bench along with tieleman we should be aiming to fight for the league…as long as we are fighting for top4 it means Arsenal don’t have ambition we need to change the mentality that other teams are ahead of us

I love his game.. It's not easy to score 15 goals in the EPL for a striker playing for a newly promoted club, and it's not all about the goals, his overall game is exactly what we need and he is confident in front of goal.

Ivan Toney would be a good signing but not with exorbitant wages.. I rate that guy highly. Btw Martial was also very young, in fact the golden boy winner the year he joined Man United.

100k for 5 years and he will be 27 in 5 years at this generation which footballers are playing for money…we all know the 100k is a steal…I will rather pay Nketiah 100k weekly with a world class striker ahead of him than signing Ivan toney with fat check weekly

Definitely, Martial was massively overrated for years. Nketiah deserves the new contract but not £100k.

Doesn’t make him deserve the 250k weekly giving Nketiah 100k for 5years will be good deal because he have time to develop himself

He did that in the 19/20 season without scoring a single penalty.

Really you mean 100k is too much for a backup striker not an injury striker…even martial on 250k haven’t hit 15 league goals in his man United career in a season

you can't be seriously comparing those two with nketiah.. when have nketiah ever hit the numbers that Sancho and Rashford hit for their respective clubs? Rashford only has 1 bad season so far but when he's inform he's a beast that defenders actually fear Sancho also is still settling at Man U but when he was at Dortmund he was a very consistent player they deserve their wages nketiah has done absolutely nothing to deserve a 100k a week bonus literally 2x more what he was earning absolute rip off

How can someone flop when they didn't get the chance...am not a fan of him anyway...I agree with you on the money part but you can't say someone is not good at something that they didn't get a chance at
nketiah had his chances and never lived up to his expectations he's been here far too long and hasn't impressed even in those 10 games or so he got to play he was anonymous in most, even if he's getting a new contract 100k a week is a damn joke his agents must be laughing their heads off to pull such a deal

People are frustrated with the 100k where sancho is having twice the amount and rashford is receiving fat check doing nothing on the pitch

Idk if we can say he wasn't given a chance. How many years has he been at arsenal. I have seen him play many times over the years but never living up to expectations. Maybe you have a point in that he was very you back then and he wasn't given a chance under Arteta. Who knows, he might even be the top scorer next season if keeps on playing like this.
