Nottingham Forest 'are still pursuing a move for Eddie Nketiah' after having a £25m bid rejected - with Arsenal 'wanting at least £30m' for the striker

Nottingham Forest are working on a deal for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah.

As reported by The Athletic, Forest have had an opening offer of £25million including add-ons rejected for the 25-year-old.

Nketiah appeared close to joining Marseille earlier in the transfer window after agreeing personal terms but the French club couldn't agree a fee with Arsenal.

The Gunners are demanding between £30million and £35million for Nketiah.

Crystal Palace are also interested in a possible deal but aren't currently in talks with Arsenal.
