According to Football Insider, Arsenal are looking to sell Nketiah this summer, and Leeds are one of the clubs interested, with him spending the 2019/20 season on loan with the Yorkshire club.
During his loan at Leeds, Nketiah struggled for regular football due to Bamford's impressive season as Leeds got promoted to the top-flight, with Nketiah featuring in 19 games during the half of the season that he spent on loan at Elland Road, scoring five goals in the process.
Mikel Arteta has reportedly allowed the club to listen to offers for the 22-year-old, as long as the club's £20 million asking price is met.
The price tag is rumoured to be £20 million which I think puts pay to any speculation. Way over the odds for a relatively unproven player whose contract is up this year. Especially when we have Gelhardt and Greenwood waiting in the wings.
What as Eddie done to deserve such a high price tag? He didn't fit the bill on loan so i can't see Marcelo wanting him back. Arsenal will struggle to get £10m for the kid imo.

Don’t think he was ever given sufficient opportunity to demonstrate what he could do when he was with us on loan
£20m does seem a tad optimistic on Arsenal’s side however
It'd be 20 Mil including incentives, England caps, Goals scored, games played ..that sort of thing.. His movement is sublime and the speed he dos it at is top class. Good finisher too.

Yes, fair point and when you think that’s the sort of money Sheffield Utd paid for Oli McBurnie then £20m doesn’t sound a lot does it.
Wasn't a regular at the team that finished just in front of us. Not sure he would be what we need to overtake them.
Would be behind Bamford & Rodrigo so unless we are switching to two up would be no more than a impact sub.

He also cost more than Raphinha and Llorente. Why should we overpay for mediocre players just because others do?
The sooner these deluded and arrogant "Super" League clubs realise we're not interested in their overpriced rejects, the better. We don't buy rejects, we sign first team players. Koch, Llorente, Raph, Rodrigo none of those were rejects.
