I think the reason any teams won't pay more than £20M for him is because of his £100K a week wages. If he wasn't on huge wages we could realistically get up to £30M for him. Anyways £20M and him off the wage bill isn't such a bad deal.

How did he manage to get 100k a week

Marseille are the only ones showing serious interest, and they aren't PL rich.
Without PL interest low 20's is best we can hope for.
At the end of the day Arsenal fans have been calling Eddie Nketz the worst player ever for the last 3 or 4 years and now expect good money for him?

On the face of it, £17m looks like peanuts for a 25-year old homegrown player with 3 years remaining on his current contract. Even if the offer is coming from a foreign club.
But this is a player who failed to attract any serious offers when his last contract was about to run down a couple of years ago.
Take the money and run.

Eddie is the worst player ever and I'd be happy if Arsenal paid another club £17m to take him off our hands

May well have been better to let it run out altogether depending on whether we get a decent fee. Lack of a decent CF has hurt us.
Hope he gets a move and does well elsewhere, he's not going to be a top top player but could have a solid career somewhere.

I don’t know what we think we are going to get for Nketiah - he’s on £100k a week (👀) & at top level he is lower mediocre at best.
