Eddie Nketiah’s future is once again up for dispute this summer, as the Arsenal striker continues to struggle for playing time under manager Mikel Arteta – but he might be the ideal counterweight in a swap deal.
The 24-year-old hasn’t started a game for Arsenal since the turn of the year. A amazing statistic given how good Nketiah has proven to be when given the opportunity.
Every summer, it appears that Nketiah is linked to the escape door at The Emirates. However, due to Financial Fairplay limitations, Arsenal may suddenly be more ready to sell the £35 million-rated player. They need to sell.
Leicester covet Arsenal’s star ahead of the summer window.
According to reports, Leicester City, Palace, and Brentford are all interested in signing the England U21 striker. However, Arsenal might take advantage of this by signing their own £45 million transfer target.
The Gunners are allegedly interested in signing Leicester City’s Dewsbury-Hall, who has played a key role in the club’s promotion campaign. He has contributed to 25 goals, 14 of which he scored and 11 that he assisted on.
According to reports, Leicester may have to sell their best player after posting a £90 million loss. Leicester City are thought to value the playmaker at over £45 million. He is deserving of a Premier League transfer.
Nketiah helps deliver an ideal exchange arrangement for Dewsbury-Hall.
It is unclear whether he will stay with Leicester, even if they are promoted to the Premier League. A transfer to Arsenal would undoubtedly tempt Dewsbury-Hall at the conclusion of the season.
Leicester will do everything they can to keep him, despite the losses. Promotion may provide them with the necessary financial stability to keep Dewsbury-Hall. They need to replace Jamie Vardy.
Leicester wants Nketiah, while Arsenal wants Dewsbury-Hall. The Gunners intend to sell. There is the possibility of a player-plus-cash deal, a minor fee, and Nketiah joining Dewsbury-Hall. However, there remains work to be done.
If both teams explored a potential swap deal including both players, Nketiah would need convincing to join a freshly promoted team. Leicester would need convincing to sell, and incorporating Nketiah might help.
