Eddie Nketiah’s refusal to sign a new contract at Arsenal has reportedly seen the club scrambling to secure a fee for his services. Having been behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in the pecking order, Nketiah appears to have decided to leave the club. Express Sport takes a look at four teams he could join.
Brighton
Nketiah has been linked with Brighton in the past, and rumours could well spark up again.
With Neal Maupay failing to score since the end of September, it is no surprise that Brighton have fallen down the league table.
The Lewisham-born striker could make the move to Brighton with Aaron Connelly and Jurgen Locadia the only backup options, both having made a combined total of three appearances.
And it would represent progressive thinking from the Seagulls.

Burnley
Having become notorious as a side who rarely score, Burnley have found success this season under Maxwel Cornet’s arrival.
Having been host to Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez in recent years – strikers who are notoriously slow – Cornet has injected a different dynamic at Turf Moor.
With the Ivorian primarily signed to play on the wing, Nketiah could take his spot up front to give Burnley even more firepower.
And his arrival could be the difference between survival and relegation to the Championship.
Everton
Dominic Calvert-Lewin would obviously take the first spot as Everton striker given his key role at Goodison Park in recent seasons.
However, with Toffees fans extremely unhappy with his back-up Salomon Rondon, they may be in the market for another striker.
Nketiah would offer youth, pace and above all else excitement to the league’s worst side in the recent form tables.
And Everton could even operate Nketiah and Calvert-Lewin in a front two, giving Richarlison more to offer out on his favoured left-wing.
