Eddie Nketiah has finally discussed his future with the team amid speculation that he would quit Arsenal.
This summer, the Gunners striker has been strongly linked to a move outside of the Emirates Stadium.
According to reports, Nketiah is being considered for a permanent deal by Ligue 1 club Marseille, which would mean that the academy graduate would leave the team. For the second round of the team’s preseason preparation, Nketiah has traveled to the United States with the Arsenal team.
The striker has stated his goals for the transatlantic journey, including how he and the team’s young players intend to make an impression on manager Mikel Arteta.
He said on the official Arsenal website, “Pre-season is really good for a lot of the lads who haven’t trained or played with us that much to show what they can do.”
“Hopefully, individuals will be able to take advantage of the chances it provides for them to show off and get healthy.

It’s a platform to start making an impression, playing games frequently and getting in shape.
It’s a great possibility because there are several examples of guys who performed well in the preseason and went on to play and log minutes with the first squad.”
Nketiah has been associated with potential moves away from Arsenal, and there have also been whispers that the Gunners are interested in acquiring a new striker, reports Football London.
