The Gunners graduate has entered the final year of his deal, and he has no plans of extending his stay.

Hence, the north London club are expected to offload him, and Sky Sports claims that they want £20m.

Crystal Palace are interested in landing the marksman, but their opening bid of £10m has been rejected.

An unnamed club are also in negotiations. They have already failed with two bids, and are preparing a third.

Nketiah is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, but he is expected to return to training next month. 

Aside from Nketiah, fellow graduates Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson could also leave soon.

Nelson is attracting interest from Bayer Leverkusen and Olympiacos. The former could sign him permanently.

Arsenal have already spent over £130m on new signings. Any more summer arrivals depend on player sales.
