FootballTransfers has revealed that Leicester City has entered the race to sign Eddie Nketiah, joining Crystal Palace and Brentford. Leicester City, who currently plays in the Championship, believes that they will be able to cover the wages of the Arsenal striker if they get promoted.
Furthermore, it is rumored that Jamie Vardy will leave the club at the end of the season, freeing up £150,000 per week. Crystal Palace has shown interest in Nketiah in previous transfer windows, while Brentford is anticipating the departure of Ivan Toney.
Previously, Nketiah was leaning towards a move to Brentford for the upcoming summer transfer window, but the emergence of Leicester City could potentially change his decision.
Arsenal, on the other hand, is actively looking to offload players and strengthen their squad with new talent as they aim to challenge for the Premier League title next season.
Emile Smith Rowe is also rumored to be leaving the club. Although specific details about Leicester City’s budget remain undisclosed, it is expected that significant funds will be made available considering the club’s financial position.
Additionally, Arsenal’s compliance with Financial Fair Play regulations may be aided by the potential departure of Hale End graduates.
