Eddie Nketiah will sign a long-term deal with Arsenal.

Nketiah had been expected to seek a new challenge upon the expiry of his current deal in June, with West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brighton among a number of clubs at home and abroad monitoring his situation.

Nketiah, however, became part of Mikel Arteta's starting XI toward the end of the season and played well.

With Alexandre Lacazette virtually certain to depart when his contract runs out next month, Nketiah and Folarin Balogun will be the only recognised central attackers on Arsenal’s books.
