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. Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has been validated by Roberto De Zerbi and has even reportedly found a contractual agreement with OM. Yes, but the Gunners are particularly greedy for their 25-year-old striker, who is nevertheless confined to the role of joker under Mikel Arteta.

One of the alternatives to the English international is called Alexis Sanchez, but the case of the Chilean veteran divides internally, pushed especially by Medhi Benatia when Pablo Longoria sees above all one more non-EU to place in his squad. Also, plan Bs are necessarily being studied. And in particular that embodied by the young Dortmund striker Youssoufa Moukoko.

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. OM is in the running – an echo confirmed in the Marseille corridors – even if no offer has yet been sent to BvB, which keeps its hand until 2026 on a player valued between 20 and 25 million euros.

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.
