Bournemouth enter race to sign 25yo Arsenal star — Bournemouth enter race to sign

The England international agreed personal terms with Marseille earlier this month and he seemed on the cusp of joining the club.

However, the Ligue 1 outfit have decided to sign Elye Wahi from Lens instead. They refused to meet Arsenal 's £26m price tag.

It is now reported that the Cherries are strongly interested in landing Nketiah following their failed approach for Porto's Evanilson.

The Cherries are desperate for a new striker ahead of the new campaign. They recently sold Dominic Solanke to Tottenham for £65m.

Arsenal should be aware of the transfer package and we won't be surprised if they demand a higher transfer fee to part ways with Nketiah.

The Gunners are eyeing a marquee striker in the transfer market and they could step up their pursuit as soon as Nketiah heads out of the club.

Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres seems the priority target.
