Marseille Set to Sign Another England Star as Greenwood Deal Nears
In a shocking twist, reports suggest that Marseille are looking to complete the signing of another England international just hours after agreeing a deal with Manchester United for Mason Greenwood. The 22-year-old forward is set to join the Ligue 1 club in a reported £26.7 million deal, which has been met with controversy amidst an ongoing investigation.
It appears that the Red Devils are desperate to offload Greenwood after internal allegations surfaced, and it remains to be seen whether the England star will be able to revive his career with Marseille. Meanwhile, Lazio are reportedly trying to hijack the deal, but it seems unlikely given the French club’s advanced talks.
Nketiah Next Target for Marseille?
De Zerbi’s side aren’t stopping at just Greenwood, with rumors circulating that they’re setting their sights on Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah. The 25-year-old has struggled for game time at the Emirates Stadium under Mikel Arteta, making only two starts in the entire season. With Kai Havertz firmly established as Arsenal’s number nine, Nketiah’s future seems uncertain.
According to Foot Mercato, Nketiah is ‘open to a new challenge’, and it’s not hard to see why. With Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard, and maybe even another striker on the way, his chances of regular playing time in North London are slim to none. A move to Marseille could breathe new life into his career, but he’d need to prove himself in Ligue 1 to regain his top-flight status.
A Season of Uncertainty for Arsenal Fans
The Gunners have already let go of Folarin Balogun to Monaco last season, and it’s clear that change is in the air. With the team preparing to make significant signings, fans may have to say goodbye to another valuable player. Nketiah’s exit wouldn’t come as a surprise, especially with his limited playing time this season.
As the transfer window continues to churn out surprises, one thing’s for sure: the Premier League landscape is about to change. Join the conversation and stay ahead of the game with our expert analysis and exclusive insights.
