Arsenal 'prepare to green-light Marseille exit for Eddie Nketiah' as clubs remain in conversation over £25.6m fee for Gunners academy graduate

Arsenal are ready to let Eddie Nketiah leave the club and join Marseille after the Ligue 1 club submitted a loan offer with a £25.6m obligation to buy, according to reports.

The 25-year-old has been eager to gain more consistent playing time after being largely limited to a substitute role within Mikel Arteta's squad and now looks set to join former Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi in France.

The Gunners academy product has been a primary target for Marseille, with the two clubs going back-and-forth during negotiations as they attempted to find a suitable agreement.
