Kevin Campbell has said on Highbury Squad that he cannot believe that Arsenal have not sold Eddie Nketiah already.

The former Arsenal striker has said that he thought that the Gunners would have sold Nketiah to Brighton and Hove Albion.

The striker is still at Arsenal and actually played in the pre-season friendly match against Chelsea at the weekend.

Campbell said about Nketiah on Highbury Squad: “As far as I am concerned, I thought they were cashing in on Eddie.

“I thought they would have cashed in on Eddie Nketiah to Brighton for £25, £30 million. I really did, but it hasn’t happened.”

Linked-away

Nketiah, a former Leeds United loanee, has actually been linked with moves away from Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

The Express reported last month that West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen all want to sign the 22-year-old.

Arsenal are actually keen on offloading the youngster, according to the report.

The striker was also linked with Brighton earlier in the summer.

Does Nketiah have a future at Arsenal?

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are the two main strikers at Arsenal at the moment.

Folarin Balogun is also going to be promoted to the first team this season.

This means that there will be more competition for Nketiah for a place in the team.

If the 22-year-old gets the chance to move to another club, perhaps on loan, where he would stand a chance of playing regularly, then he should seriously consider it.
