Marseille have stepped up their efforts to sign Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal after submitting an improved proposal for the striker on Tuesday.
The Ligue 1 side’s new offer is worth nearing €20million (£16.8m) — similar in value to their previous approach but closer to the formula Arsenal want for the forward.
Given their considerably higher asking price, Arsenal are still likely to deem the bid unrealistic; however Marseille continue to work on the situation and the clubs remain in conversations.
Should they strike a deal, the 25-year-old has already agreed a five-year contract with Marseille and is keen to join head coach Roberto De Zerbi’s team.
