French giants Marseille have made their first proposal to sign Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah this summer, according to Caught Offside.
The Ligue 1 outfit have been busy during the early part of the summer and they recently agreed to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United for €35 million.
It is now reported that Les Phoceens have proposed to sign Nketiah for a transfer fee of around €20m. The offer has already been turned down by Mikel Arteta's side.
Arsenal are aware of the high-profile interest in Nketiah in the current transfer window. West Ham United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Fulham are among his long-term admirers.
Hence, they are reluctant to let him go on the cheap. The hierarchy are set to hold out for at least €35m for Nketiah, who was largely a back-up striker for the club in the previous season.
The 25-year-old has opened the door to leaving the Gunners for a new challenge, but he is unlikely to force through an exit. He is prepared to wait patiently for the club's decision.
