Olympique Marseille has edged closer to signing Eddie Nketiah as Arsenal is prepared to make a compromise to complete the transfer.
The Ligue 1 club has been keen on signing the Arsenal player for several weeks and has reached an agreement on personal terms with the striker.
However, they hit a stumbling block when they attempted to reach an agreement with the Gunners, as Arsenal rejected their initial offer for his signature.
OM has since considered signing other strikers, but a report on Foot Mercato, as revealed by Sport Witness, claims Arsenal was worried by the news that OM is looking at other options.
They thought the French club had abandoned their move for the Hale End Academy graduate and have now softened their stance.
The report claims Arsenal is back at the negotiating table, and this time, they are willing to be far more reasonable than they were before.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We need to offload Nketiah as soon as we can. The striker might not get another club that is as interested in his signature as OM has been, so we should not miss out on a chance to send him to the Ligue 1 club.

This thing is worse than a soap opera. I’m going to make the leap of faith with this one that Edu and MA know what they’re doing and have probably had it planned for a long time. 23 days left in the window
Common sense prevails – hopefully. After all, if you want/need to sell a player and there’s only one club interested how daft is it to walk away because you’ve set an unrealistic price?
Who can possibly disagree with the Just Arsenal Opinion? If Eddie isn’t sold this summer, Arsenal only have themselves to blame.
Whether OM will come back to the table is another matter as they were reported to have turned their attention to another striker (surprise, surprise) after Arsenal’s intransigent attitude over the fee.
Arsenal should accept whatever they get from OM and move him on. Also, let us try to move Nelson. We need another striker/right winger and a central midfielder.
