Arsenal are willing to listen to offers for their striker, Eddie Nketiah, as they look to balance things in the January transfer window.

The Gunners are apparently keen on landing a new striker but are also on the border when it comes to FFP and could look to sell a first-team player to help out.

According to , Arsenal are wanting to land a top striker, with the list of potential incomings including Dusan Vlahovic and Benjamin Sesko.

And according to that same report, 24-year-old Nketiah could be sold to make room for a new signing.

Arsenal ready to sell Eddie Nketiah

Nketiah has played a key role for the Gunners this season but has also had his doubters as well.

The academy product remained at the club in place of Folarin Balogun, who was also sold for big money, and has had his chances this season.

Nketiah bagged a hat-trick against Sheffield United earlier in the season but remains the second choice to main man, Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal are apparently willing to do business for Nketiah if the money is right.

Given he is English and a home grown player, the Gunners will likely be able to command a big fee for the England international.

Big decision to be made

Despite being a ‘‘ striker on his day, there are plenty who think Arsenal need more than Eddie Nketiah if they are to truly go and win things under Arteta.

Paul Merson is among those who have called for Nketiah to do more for Arsenal and their manager.

And if they can indeed get a big fee, then it could make sense for them to sell the striker.

The Gunners have managed to open up a nice lead in the table and it seems they are pushing to get over the line this season.

Selling Nketiah and getting someone up top who is an out and out goal scorer, then, could well shift the entire balance in their favour.
