'I would stick around': £30m Arsenal player told not to leave the Emirates just yet

An Arsenal player who’s been on the fringes has been told to stay at the club this summer transfer window despite interest elsewhere.

Like all Premier League clubs, Arsenal will have to trade in the window to comply with Profit and Sustainability regulations.

The Gunners are still trying to sign an attacker with £55m-rated Pedro Neto mooted as a potential target, though, his injury record is a concern to club chiefs.

Anyhow, to facilitate a move for a new winger, they’ll have to offload players and one Arsenal star has been heavily linked with an exit.

Though, a talkSPORT pundit has urged him to stay.

Eddie Nketiah told to stay at Arsenal

Eddie Nketiah has been heavily linked with a move to Marseille this summer, with the latest £23m bid rejected.

A departure for Nketiah seems likely, however, talkSPORT pundit Darren Ambrose has urged him to stay as he feels he could still play a key role this season.

“If I am Eddie Nketiah now, I think at the moment I would stay put until a few more clubs show interest,” Ambrose said.

“I say this because one thing everyone says Arsenal need, whether they need it or not, I think second top scorers last season, they all talk about a forward, a 20+ goal forward.

“Gabriel Jesus by all accounts has come back in pre-season looking strong, but what is Gabriel Jesus? Is he an out-and-out number nine? No, he is not. He is going to score for you, 20, 25 goals a season. It’s just not going to happen. He will be the link play.

“So, you have got Kai Havertz, who has been playing as that. If he is confident enough, Eddie Nketiah, and he does come back and show that he is ready and he wants to be that focal point, I would stick around there for a little while until they sign a big centre-forward.”
