West Ham United are still interested in signing Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah on a free transfer, according to a report.

West Ham United are reportedly still interested in signing Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah on a free transfer.

The 22-year-old's contract at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire at the end of June, and he is widely expected to leave Mikel Arteta's side in search of pastures new.

Nketiah has scored five times in 13 appearances for the Gunners during the 2021-22 campaign, but he has only played 66 minutes of Premier League football this term, failing to score in six outings.

A number of clubs have been linked with the former England Under-21s international, and according to journalist Paul Brown, West Ham are keen to bring him to London Stadium.

"West Ham, I think, still have an interest in him," Brown told GIVEMESPORT.

Nketiah has scored 18 times and registered one assist in 77 appearances for Arsenal, while he managed five goals and one assist in 17 outings for Leeds United during a loan spell.

Michail Antonio is currently West Ham's first-choice centre-forward, but a disappointing run of form has seen the Jamaica international score just once in the Premier League since Boxing Day.
