West Ham lead race to sign Ghana target Eddie Nketiah
English-born Ghanaian forward Eddie Nketiah has popped up on the radar of West Ham ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old has been in fine form in the last month after returning to the starting line-up of the Gunner, bagging four goals in the last four games.
Despite his good run of form, Arsenal are yet to open contract talks with the striker whose current deal ends this summer.
West Ham are monitoring his situation at Arsenal and could make a move for the attacker with David desperately in search of another forward.
Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remains coy over the future the in-form forward.
“Eddie is doing what he’s done all season, he’s been very consistent, with his performances and how little he is giving things away! Let him be, let him enjoy the moment because he completely deserves it and things will happen naturally,” he said after the victory over Leeds United.
Nketiah netted a brace as Arsenal defeated Leeds United over the weekend to maintain their push for a top four finish.
The England U21 star is set for a nationality switch as reports indicate he is ready to play for the Black Stars of Ghana.
