OM activates plan B while the Gunners are uncompromising on the price of Eddie Nketiah.
He is the offensive priority of the Olympians to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

His agent confirms French interest
According to information from the Spanish media El Desmarque, the German international (2 caps) of Cameroonian origin, 19 years old, is closely followed by Betis Seville, but not only.

Since 2020, the precocious phenomenon has played 98 matches for the Borussen, scoring 18 goals. But according to his agent, the player can no longer be satisfied with a second-string role. “It’s no secret that there are enough clubs here who believe in Youssoufa’s qualities and want him in their team,” says the advisor of the Yaoundé native. Youssoufa has enormous potential, which he unfortunately wasn’t able to show last season. I think the fact that he scored five goals in 613 minutes says a lot about his quality. Few players in the Bundesliga have his ratio. Now, we are sounding out the interest of clubs in England, Spain and France…” To be continued.
