Arsenal 'pulling out all the stops to keep Eddie Nketiah' with manager Mikel Arteta 'desperate' to keep out-of-contract star - with 'SIX Premier League clubs including West Ham and Crystal Palace eyeing free transfer'

Arsenal are reportedly hopeful of keeping Eddie Nketiah this summer with the 22-year-old striker out-of-contract at the end of the season.

The forward has started the Gunners' last five games and has scored four goals, including braces on Sunday against Leeds and two weeks ago away at Chelsea.

As a result, Mikel Arteta is said to be desperate to keep Nketiah and The Mirror report that the club are willing to increase his salary from one of the first-team's lowest earners to one of the highest-paid.
