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.
