West Ham are said to be on red alert with news emerging that Eddie Nketiah is unhappy at Arsenal and could be looking to leave this summer.

According to The Sun, Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has become unsettled by the impending arrival of Kai Havertz from Chelsea, and West Ham could swoop in to sign the 24-year-old as a result.

West Ham were in pole position to sign the 24-year-old Arsenal man towards the end of least season, before he signed a new deal with the Gunners.

Hammers boss David Moyes will definitely be on the look-out for a new striker this summer, with Gianluca Scamacca, Danny Ings and Michail Antonio all facing uncertain futures at the London Stadium.

And it seems as though Nketiah could be the man for the job…

With Kai Havertz closing in on a move to The Emirates, the Gunners hitman is allegedly concerned about his chances of playing regular football next season.

And as a result, he could swap North London for East London according to a report from The Sun.

The 24-year-old is extremely physically fit, incredibly strong, athletic, energetic and sharp as a razor.

Nkeitah is an incredibly good goalscorer as well, and has a very similar playing profile to that of Arsenal legend Ian Wright.

The English forward bagged nine goals and three assists in 39 games for the Gunners last season (Transfermarkt), and played a key role for Mikel Arteta’s side during Gabriel Jesus’s lengthy absence.

He has been described as an ‘incredible’ striker by The Express.

Arsenal have obviously been heavily linked with a move to sign Declan Rice this summer, so if Moyes really does want to bring Eddie Nketiah to West Ham, some kind of player plus cash deal could well be on the cards.

I think that the 24-year-old Gunners hitman would be a great signing for us this summer. His pace, power, movement and finishing ability would offer Moyes something entirely unique through the middle.
