Everton could soon aim for an Arsenal player to strengthen their summer additions. Tim Iroegbunam, Iliman Ndiaye, and Jack Harrison have joined Sean Dyche’s team, thus immediately seeing notable additions. They have also had Omari Benjamin from Arsenal secured. Eddie Nketiah, another Arsenal player, could now be of interest. Future at Arsenal for Nketiah seems dubious. He slid to third in the pecking order last season. Reportedly willing to leave Mikel Arteta’s side, Caught Offside notes Everton, West Ham, and Wolves are keen. While Roberto De Zerbi apparently wants to take him to Marseille, sources indicate English teams would soon make a bid.
Arsenal Set To Reject The £20m Bid For Their Star Player
Nketiah’s asking price, almost £50 million, presents a major obstacle. Although Arteta has called him “incredible,” many teams would object at such a hefty cost considering Nketiah’s minimal involvement at Arsenal. This is where a loan move might help everyone concerned.
With consistent playing, a loan would let Nketiah show himself. For teams like Everton, it would mean finding a gifted player for little initial outlay. Should Nketiah excel during his loan term, Arsenal may then be justified in their high asking price or even attract more. This arrangement could also help Nketiah to display his abilities and get experience, therefore easing his tensions.
This summer Everton has had a bold and aggressive approach. They have not hesitated to bring in fresh players, hence adding Nketiah will help their assault to be even stronger. He appeals because of his adaptability and potential. Everton would be wise to negotiate a loan agreement as it would be in line with their previous effective acquisitions.
Eddie Nketiah may soon depart Arsenal, with Everton among the teams looking at him. Given the financial and strategic advantages for everyone engaged, a loan move appears logical. Nketiah may be the next great addition to Everton’s team as they get their aggressive buying campaign under way.
