Crystal Palace Pursues Eddie Nketiah Transfer

Eddie Nketiah is on the verge of joining Crystal Palace from Arsenal, with the club reportedly offering £25 million plus £5 million in add-ons. Nketiah, who has been an unused substitute for Arsenal this season, is seeking more regular playing time and has rejected moves to other clubs, including Marseille and Nottingham Forest. Personal terms with Palace have reportedly been discussed, and the striker is keen on the move as he aims to replace Jordan Ayew, who recently transferred to Leicester City. Arsenal is prepared to negotiate, and Nketiah's departure seems imminent before the transfer window closes. Additionally, Palace is looking to strengthen their squad by targeting other players such as defender Maxence Lacroix and wing-back Rayan Ait-Nouri. Nketiah, who has a contract with Arsenal until June 2027, has scored 38 goals in 168 appearances for the club.
