According to Foot Mercato, Arsenal are willing to lower their asking price to facilitate Eddie Nketiah’s (25) move away from his boyhood club to Olympique de Marseille.
Marseille had seemingly given up on trying to convince Arsenal to part ways with the English forward after their initial offers had fallen short of the Premier League club’s expectations of €35 million.
Last night Marseille had made an opening offer for RC Lens’ Elye Wahi (21) in a clear indication that they were now pursuing other options as they look to find a recruit capable of filling the hole that has been left by the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (35).
However, Foot Mercato reports that Arsenal have softened their stance and it is now up to Les Phocéens to see if they will return to their previous target, and try and bring Nketiah to the Stade Vélodrome this summer. The club and player had reportedly already agreed personal terms.
