Leeds United, Aston Villa and Brentford are all reportedly set to battle for the signature of Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah in January.

Leeds United and Aston Villa reportedly both hold an interest in Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah.

England Under-21s' all-time leading goalscorer has fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta and is yet to play a minute of Premier League football in the 2021-22 season.

Nketiah has now entered the final 12 months of his deal with the Gunners and could walk away on a free transfer next summer, although he remained at the club in the most recent transfer window despite links with a move elsewhere.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa would be interested in bringing Nketiah back to Elland Road on a permanent basis, while Brentford and Aston Villa are also keeping tabs on his future.

Konur adds that the 22-year-old is pining for regular first-team football, and he could look to secure a move away from Arsenal in the January transfer window.

Nketiah's only appearance for the Gunners this season came in the EFL Cup against AFC Wimbledon, during which he scored a cheeky flick in a 3-0 third-round success.

The striker has totalled 66 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions, scoring 14 goals since graduating from Hale End.
