  • Eddie Nketiah is on the verge of signing a five-year bumper contract with Arsenal after opting to stay with the north London outfit
  • The bumper deal offered to the 22-year-old forward comes off the back of a fine streak of form which saw the former Leeds United striker bang in five goals in Arsenal's last seven games

Nketiah's new contract would be worth in the region of £100,000-per-week for five years in length, according to the Daily Mail.

The 22-year-old is also expected to earn a huge signing on bonus, believed to be up to £5million although the contract is still in the process of being finalised.

Per Fabrizio Romano, the Chelsea academy alumnus was coveted by numerous clubs, including Crystal Palace, West Ham and two Bundesliga clubs approached Eddie but he will be staying put at the Emirates Stadium.

Aside from clubs, Nketiah is also being coveted by the Ghana Football Association, who are keen on luring the England-born centre forward to play for the Black Stars.

He finished the 2021-22 season by scoring five goals in his last seven Premier League appearances.

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah goes through insane body transformation

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Eddie Nketiah is enjoying a ridiculous body transformation over recent years from a skinny youngster into a hulking Premier League striker.

As a teenager, the 22-year-old Arsenal forward was often called too skinny by his coaches.

But through the years, Nketiah went from a lanky striker to a powerhouse forward thanks to a strict exercise regime.
