Crystal Palace linked with Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah

Crystal Palace are interested in signing Eddie Nketiah from London and Premier League rivals Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk. The report has claimed that the Gunners are willing to offload Nketiah at the end of the season, and that the Eagles are among the clubs who are keen on the striker. They have done the most work in trying to get a deal done.

Nketiah has been on the books of Arsenal since 2015 and has come through the North London club’s youth system. The 24-year-old is now part of the first team at the Gunners, but he is a squad under manager Mikel Arteta. The England international striker has made 10 starts and 14 substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season, scoring five goals and providing two assists in the process.

TEAMtalk has claimed that Arsenal are ready to sell Nketiah to avoid FFP issues in case they are to spend heavily again in the summer transfer window. The striker himself is keen on staying at the Emirates Stadium, but his representatives are working in the background trying to ascertain the best possible move for him.
