English-Ghanaian forward Eddie Nketiah is set to join Nottingham Forest from Premier League rivals Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old has reportedly agreed terms with Nuno Espirito Santo's side with the Reds set to reach Arsenal's valuation of the forward.

Arsenal are demanding £30m for the striker in the transfer market. Nketiah's move to France to join Olympique Marseille fell through after the Ligue 1 giants failed to meet the Gunners' asking price.

Meanwhile, Nottingham are close to sealing the deal as they prepare to pay for the in-demand forward.

The former England youth international is leaving Arsenal for consistent game time, having struggled to compete for a place in the starting line up of the London club.

In his 168 appearances for Arsenal, the English-Ghanaian has netted 38 times for the club. Nketiah spent a brief spell at Leeds United on loan during the 2019/20 season.

Nketiah was an unused substitute in the season opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
