Arsenal are set to sell Eddie Nketiah after agreeing on a transfer fee with a rival Premier League club.
The one-cap England international has spent his entire career with the Gunners having come through their academy, but finds himself out of favour with manager Mikel Arteta.
The 25-year-old, who has scored 38 goals in 168 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal, is third in the centre-forward pecking order behind Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
Nketiah has been linked with a move away from north London this summer in order to get more playing time, with Marseille and Nottingham Forest showing interest in the striker.

Crystal Palace, though, have seemingly won the race for his signature after they ‘agreed a deal in principle’ to buy Nketiah from Arsenal, according to Sky Sports News.
The deal is worth up to £30 million, with the Eagles paying an initial transfer fee of £25m, plus another £5m in performance-related add-ons.
The move is not a done deal just yet, with both clubs still in talks over its structure and the make-up of the add-ons, but Nketiah has been granted permission to undergo a medical.
Personal terms are not expected to be a problem, with the player eager to get more regular first-team football as he enters the prime years of his career.
