Nottingham Forest one of favourites to sign Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah

Nottingham Forest are one of the bookies' favourites to sign Arsenal's in-demand striker Eddie Nketiah.

The 20-year-old is said to be wanted by a host of clubs, after his loan at Championship leaders Leeds United was cut short.

Nketiah moved to Elland Road on a season-long deal in August, but the Gunners recalled the talented youngster at the start of this month because he had started only two league matches in the opening five months of the campaign.

He played 17 matches in the Championship in total for Leeds, scoring three goals.

It is understood new Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is prepared to loan Nketiah to another club for the rest of the campaign, with Forest believed to be one of a number of clubs monitoring his situation.

And the Reds are ranked as second favourites to capture him with Sky Bet (3/1), behind Bristol City (5/2).
