The likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham have also been linked with Nketiah, who collected his first senior England cap last year. More recently, there have been reports of interest from Everton and Leicester.
Bournemouth have recently had their coffers boosted by Tottenham Hotspur’s purchase of Dominic Solanke, although his exit has also left a significant gap in the club’s attacking department. Nketiah would arguably be an ideal replacement and could potentially thrive if given regular minutes under a head coach of Andoni Iraola’s calibre.
The forward has spent the entirety of his senior career on Arsenal’s books, although was loaned out to Leeds in 2019. He showed promise at Elland Road but failed to dislodge Patrick Bamford as Marcelo Bielsa’s first-choice number nine.
His time in West Yorkshire came to an end in January 2020, when he was recalled by his parent club. He left having scored five goals in 19 appearances for the Whites.
