Eddie Nketiah has been offered a new contract at Arsenal, dashing Newcastle United’s chances of securing the forward on a free transfer.

The 23-year-old's contract at the Emirates Stadium ends this month which has alerted a number of Premier League sides.

Newcastle were previously linked with the striker, who scored 10 goals in 27 appearances for The Gunners in all competitions last season.

But now it appears that Nketiah is set to commit his future to Arsenal. The North London club strongly hinted that the former England under-21 international would be extending his stay earlier this week as they included him in pre-season promotional material.
