    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    As per Foot Mercato, De Zerbi and Marseille have their eyes set on Arsenal's Nketiah for a summer move following the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah. Nketiah is under contract at Emirates Stadium until the summer of 2027, but due to a number of names being ahead of him in Mikel Arteta's pecking order, the Englishman wants to leave the Gunners.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    As per the report, Marseille also had an eye out for Wolves' Hwang Hee-chan to fill up their striker demands, however, if possible, they would prefer to sign Nketiah this summer. The 25-year-old has shown a lot of promise during his time at Arsenal and Marseille believe he would be the right man for their needs.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR NKETIAH?

    Nketiah will likely travel to the United States for Arsenal's pre-season tour and he will hope that his future will be decided before the start of the 2024-25 Premier League and Ligue 1 seasons.
