Arsenal open to January offers for club graduate?

Arsenal could sanction the sale of Eddie Nketiah in January after his decision to turn down a new contract.

The striker has barely played for the Gunners this term, and that has been a reason behind his decision to reject a new deal.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has acknowledged the same, and it is now reported that the 22-year-old could be sold next month.

The north London giants are not planning to sign a new striker, but they are keen to avoid the prospect of losing Nketiah for nothing.

Crystal Palace were heavily linked with his services over the summer, but a deal fell through after they opted for Odsonne Edouard from Celtic.

Nketiah's wage demands of around £60,000-a-week pulled the plug on a potential deal. The Eagles could return for him in January.

There are suggestions that the striker is now prepared to lower his salary requirements as he is solely focused on securing regular game time.
