David Ornstein reports that Eddie Nketiah is set to undergo a medical at Crystal Palace ahead of a potential £30m transfer to Selhurst Park.
The striker had been previously linked with Marseille and Nottingham Forest this summer, coming close to a move on both occasions, but it looks as if his future will now lie in South London.
Nketiah was kept around last weekend after Gabriel Jesus suffered a groin injury, but didn’t get off the bench during our 2-0 win over Aston Villa.
If and when this deal goes through, he will be the latest high profile departure from the squad this summer, following Emile Smith Rowe’s move to Fulham, Nuno Tavares and Albert Sambi Lokonga going on loan, and it should also be followed by Fabio Vieira rejoining his former club Porto for the duration of the 2024-25 season.
Arsenal still have to sort out the Aaron Ramsdale situation, with Southampton and Wolves still considering a loan for the former number 1, and it remains to be seen if there will be a further attacking addition ahead of Friday’s 11pm transfer deadline.
The Gunners have added Riccardo Calafiori and completed the permanent transfer of David Raya this summer, while Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino is set to be announced after he completed the formalities of his deal over the weekend.
