The player in question is Eddie Nketiah, who is a product of Arsenal’s academy.
The now 24-year-old showed a lot of promise as a youngster, breaking Alan Shearer’s record for most goals scored at an under-21 level for England.
However, his career has stagnated somewhat in recent years.
Nketiah endured a tough loan spell with Leeds United before being recalled by Mikel Arteta back in 2020.
Since then, Nketiah has been in and out of the Arsenal set-up, scoring 32 times in 132 outings in all competitions.
But with Arsenal now challenging for the league title, it is clear Nketiah is not at the level required.
“On another Arsenal rumour, I’m honestly not convinced about reports that Eddie Nketiah could be sold this summer,” Romano said.
“He signed a new deal last year, and he’s always been highly rated at Arsenal. For sure there are many clubs who have been tracking Nketiah for a long time but nothing is concrete in terms of chances to leave the club now.”
