Eddie Nketiah Crystal Palace are on the verge of acquiring Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah for a fee in the range of £30 million. The Eagles have long admired the English international and previously inquired about his availability in January. However, Nketiah decided to remain at Arsenal at that time. The deal is structured with an upfront fee of around £25 million and an additional £5 million in potential add-ons. Nottingham Forest had previously been in advanced negotiations with Arsenal for Nketiah but ultimately withdrew from the pursuit.
