‘Needs regular football’: Pundit tells Everton to sign £100,000-a-week Arsenal player

The former Arsenal prospect has said on Twitter that Gunners striker Eddie Nketiah would be a good signing for Everton in the summer transfer window.

The pundit believes that Crystal Palace and West Ham United should also look into the possibility of signing the £100,000-a-week (Spotrac) striker.

Bothroyd has noted that the 24-year-old striker needs to play regular first-team football now.

Should Everton bid for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah?

In our opinion, Everton should consider a bid for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah in the summer transfer window.

Yes, the Toffees have Dominic Calvert-Lewin on their books, but the England international striker has had injury problems for a while now.

Yes, the 24-year-old is not ‘world class, but Everton are not going to be able to bring in a ‘world-class’ striker in the summer transfer window.

After all, Everton almost got relegated to the Championship at the end of last season.

And Nketiah himself could be convinced to leave.

True, Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world and are a global brand, but Gabriel Jesus is the number one striker in manager Mikel Arteta’s system.

Nketiah will be well aware that he will always play second fiddle to Jesus at Arsenal.
