ARSENAL are reluctantly set to let Eddie Nketiah leave the club this summer, SunSport can reveal.
The 24-year-old is highly rated by Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, but he is desperate for first team football.
Now after learning he is set to fall further down the pecking order, Nketiah is set to try and secure a move before the start of the season.
SunSport can reveal that Fulham are in pole position and would be willing to pay up to £30million for the striker.
But they are likely to see competition from Crystal Palace and Wolves.

Everton are also interested in a potential year long loan - an option which could appeal to Arsenal because they are reluctant to let him leave.
The Gunners have been notoriously poor sellers in recent years, but there are hopes that, if any clubs want Nketiah, they can start a bidding war that can drive the final price for him to decent levels.
That would also free up cash for Arsenal who are determined to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko during the summer transfer window.
Sesko had a good debut campaign with Leipzig in the German top-flight. He finished the season with 18 goals after scoring in his final seven league games.
The Slovenian has been fancied to pursue a bigger challenge this summer. AC Milan are also admirers of Sesko, but they are unlikely to afford his £55million release clause which the London club are well capable of paying.

The Gunners might have to fend off interest from Manchester United and Chelsea to land the striker.
Arsenal are also rumoured to be interested in Ivan Toney and Dominic Solanke, and could offload Nketiah to free up funds for one of the pair.
