Eddie Nketiah: Nottingham Forest in talks with Arsenal over £30m deal for striker

Nottingham Forest continue to negotiate with Arsenal over a £30 million deal for striker Eddie Nketiah.

A contract has not yet been signed, but the 25-year-old is close to ending his time at the Emirates Stadium.

Forest have several potential strikers, including Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez, but have made progress with the move for Nketiah.

Nketiah has spent his entire career at the Emirates, apart from a six-month loan to Leeds in the 2019–20 season.

He scored 38 goals in 168 appearances for Arsenal, but only made 38 appearances in the Premier League after making his top-flight debut in 2018.

The striker was an unused substitute in the 2-0 win over Wolves on Saturday, the opening day of the Premier League season.

Forest are also close to signing left-back Alex Moreno on loan from Aston Villa. The 31-year-old is ranked behind new signing Ian Maatsen and Lucas Digne at Villa Park and is allowed to leave the club.

In terms of departures, the Reds are in talks with Championship side Burnley, who are keen to sign defender Joe Worrall.

Meanwhile, coach Nuno Espirito Santo is expected to give an update on Danilo on Thursday, as the midfielder has been seeing specialists this week.

He suffered a broken ankle after six minutes of the 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Saturday.
