Leicester City Eye Arsenal’s £50M Rising Star in Transfer Frenzy

Mikel Arteta plans to offload several first-team players in the coming weeks after many struggled for playing time last season. Among those likely to leave are Aaron Ramsdale, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, and Emile Smith Rowe.

With Leicester City returning to the Premier League, Steve Cooper is expected to seek top-level players. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Leicester may target an Arsenal player linked with a move away.

Eddie Nketiah has attracted interest from various Premier League teams, including Wolves, Crystal Palace, and Everton. However, Leicester is also in the mix for the Arsenal striker. Jacobs mentioned that a move for Nketiah from Leicester can’t be ruled out, despite Armando Broja being unavailable.

Arsenal has set a £50 million price tag on Nketiah as they aim to fund a new striker. This high price might deter clubs, including Leicester, from making a move. However, if Arsenal lowers their demands, Nketiah could be an exciting addition for Leicester. The talented striker, although mostly used as a substitute, scored six goals and made three assists in all competitions last season.
