The Express are reporting today that Arsenal striker and West Ham United target Eddie Nketiah is valued at £14 million.
It is being reported that Nketiah, who has been at Arsenal since 2015, is valued at £14 million.
Boost for West Ham United?
West Ham have been linked with a move for Arsenal striker Nketiah.
The Express claimed last month that Arsenal want to sell the former Leeds United loanee, with the Hammers and Crystal Palace interested.
Nketiah has not had the best of times at the Gunners and is essentially a squad player at the Emirates Stadium.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are the two main strikers at the Gunners, and Folarin Balogun is likely to be promoted to the first team next season.
However, for £14 million, the 22-year-old – described as “a really quick and exciting talent” by former Arsenal striker Charlie Nicholas in The Scottish Daily Express (29/06, p57) – would not be a bad signing for West Ham.
Nketiah himself could be open to a move to West Ham.
West Ham manager David Moyes has yet to replace Sebastien Haller and cannot rely on Michail Antonio all the time.
Nketiah is only 22 and can get better, and given a run of games, he could turn on the style.
