Nottingham Forest is nearing an agreement with Arsenal for striker Eddie Nketiah, with the latest bid approaching Arsenal's valuation of £30-35 million. Nketiah, who has scored 38 goals in 168 appearances for Arsenal, has struggled for regular first-team football and is keen to move. Forest's initial bid of £25 million was rejected, and while they also explored interest in Santiago Gimenez, Nketiah remains their top target. Personal terms between Nketiah and Forest are progressing positively. Crystal Palace and other clubs have shown interest but are not as advanced in negotiations. Forest's need to bolster their attack, given last season's scoring challenges, makes this deal critical for both clubs.
