Striker has been told to pack his bags and get summer Arsenal transfer deal done!

Arsenal legend Alan Smith has urged the likes of Eddie Nketiah to pack his bags and leave the Gunners at some point this summer transfer window.

The academy graduate has played a big part in the Arsenal squad this season, but has largely found himself on the bench on a weekly basis under Mikel Arteta.

It is no secret that ARSENAL are eyeing up a striker this coming summer window – which means that Nketiah would fall even further down the pecking order at the club – and that has led to speculation that he is a player that the Gunners are willing to sell.

That has led to reports that the likes of West Ham and Newcastle are interested in a move for the player, as both clubs knows that they need to add another striker to the attack, although that £30 million asking price is a bit high.

Now – amid the speculation – Smith has opened up and encouraged the striker to leave Arsenal, along with Aaron Ramsdale and Reiss Nelson: “I think there are several players at Arsenal that must move on for the good of their careers,” Smith told Lord Ping.

“Ramsdale does not want to be sitting on the bench all season again, does he? Eddie Nketiah used to get 20 minutes quite regularly the season before this one, but since Havertz has come in, that’s not happening anymore.

“It’s a shame for him because I do like him. He’s come through the ranks and he’s a good finisher but with so little game time I’m sure now he’ll want to start really getting his career going. Reiss Nelson is in a very similar situation. He needs to be playing regularly now.”

Nketiah is a very good young forward that has proven himself over the seasons – but he is just not the 20 goals a season forward that Mikel Arteta needs.

If an offer of £25 million arrives in the coming window – then the ARSENAL board should definitely take it.
