Former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is helping Olympique Marseille to convince Eddie Nketiah to join them.
The Gunners know OM wants to sign Nketiah in this transfer window, and they are open to his departure as soon as their demands are met.
Nketiah is behind Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz on the pecking order at the Emirates and Arsenal can succeed without him.
However, that does not mean the Gunners will allow him to leave them cheaply and they have now set an asking price for his signature.
OM has received the green light from the striker and is proceeding to find an agreement with Arsenal to make him a member of their squad.
Aubameyang has just left OM, so Nketiah would join them as his replacement. The Gabon star posted an image on X, and an OM fan urged him to convince Nketiah to join.
He replied, “Already done.” This confirms that he has convinced the Arsenal man that moving to the Ligue 1 club would be great for him.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Nketiah remains one of the players we need to sell because he will hardly play more than he did last term.
If he stays, we will also struggle to sign another striker because they may feel there is too much competition for game time.

I hear Marseille are offering 20m Euros for Nketiah. And it appears Arsenal are listening to that.
I would be very disappointed if we sold the player for anything less than what ESR went for, honestly.
Rather than sell Nketiah for peanuts, I’d keep him for another season when he would hopefully have more playing time and up his transfer appeal. After all, his contract still has some distance to go
If we can get 20 million for Eddie Nketiah I will drive him to France
No business at our club.
I agree that Nketiah hasn’t been good enough.
Hearing that Conor Gallagher is potentially going to Athletico Madrid for just under £34m then I don’t see Eddie fetching that much
If Eddie is listening to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang then there is already an issue. Pierre was ‘moved on’ by – he is now toxic playing a role in turning the heads of our young players.
If Pierre wasn’t in Eddies ear – would things be different for the lad?
I just hope Eddie gets the chance to get the career he really wants.
