Eddie Nketiah wanted by Marseille, with Ligue 1 side keen to partner Arsenal striker with Mason Greenwood next season
- Marseille want to sign 25-year-old Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah this summer
- The Ligue 1 side are also closing in on a deal for Man United's Mason Greenwood
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to leave Marseille for the Saudi Pro League
Marseille have their sights set on Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah as the French club look to reshape their attack ahead of next season.
As reported by Mail Sport last week, Marseille are closing in on a deal to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United.
Marseille and United have agreed an initial fee of £27million plus £3.2m in add-ons and a significant sell-on clause.
Greenwood could be joined in Marseille by Nketiah - who started just 10 Premier League games for Arsenal last season.
Marseille would like Nketiah and Greenwood to play alongside each other in a new-look forward line, with last season's leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang expected to move on this summer.
Ex-Arsenal star Aubameyang - who delivered 17 goals and eight assists in 34 Ligue 1 appearances last season - is likely to move to Saudi Pro League new boys Al Qadsiah.
Nketiah has scored some big goals for Arsenal over the past two seasons - most notably a brace in a 3-2 win over Man United in January 2023.
He also netted a hat-trick in a 5-0 demolition of Sheffield United last season.
But the 25-year-old is behind Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and possibly even Leandro Trossard on Mikel Arteta's list of candidates to operate as Arsenal's central striker.
Marseille reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League last season, where they lost to eventual champions Atalanta.
But Marseille finished eighth in Ligue 1 and therefore did not qualify for another European campaign.
