Crystal Palace is set to sign Eddie Nketiah after submitting a bid worth £25 million, plus an additional £5 million in add-ons.
The striker has been made available for transfer by Arsenal this summer, but previous moves to Olympique Marseille and Nottingham Forest fell through.
Nketiah remains keen on leaving the Emirates, where opportunities for regular game time have become increasingly limited.
Although Gabriel Jesus recently suffered an injury, it does not guarantee that Nketiah will start more games for Arsenal, and the club is open to his departure.
Palace has recently renewed their interest in signing him, and negotiations are now progressing.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, their latest offer brings Nketiah closer to a move to Selhurst Park.
The Eagles are pushing to finalise the deal, and Nketiah has agreed to join them as his next destination.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Nketiah has had chances to become our first-choice striker, but he did not take them, and he now has to work on leaving.
Palace is a much smaller club than us and we expect the Englishman to find it much easier to start games there if he completes the transfer.
However, for now, we need to focus on preparing for our next game because we have to keep winning.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….

Fourth time lucky? Hopefully, yes. If it goes through, I’m glad for Eddie as he can re-start his career at Palace.
I bet he’s really hoping they keep Eze. Good luck to Eddie.
Of course Aesenal will prepare very well for their next Epl home match against Brighton next Saturday”s evening. And are preparing to win the match unfailingly. And will win it.
Nevertheless, but have Arsenal accepted Crystal Palace’s offer of £25m and £5m in add ons to sign their striker Eddie Nkethia before the transfer window closes on Friday? And has Nkethia now agreed personal terms with Crystal Palace to join them? I hope he will this time around so that he will put his transfer saga away from Arsenal this summer to bed finally.
But After Arsenal have sold Nkethia, would they thereafter sign a new top class quality striker to replace Nkethia with him? This is the pertinent question that begs for the correct answer from Arsenal.
And so, us are waiting to see and hear fro, them.
my thoughts are that Arsenal have had to tread carefully re the PSR and as they knew Merino was incoming they need to ensure at least 1 more if not more are sold. Also they need to be attackers (eg Nketiah / Reiss ) to ensure there is money and space available
Not sure if Nico WIlliams as a gun winger or Osimhen /Gyokeres as a CF esp now Nketiah is off and Jesus injured (sadly again)
Exciting week ahead and in the meantime :
Welcome Mikel Merino !!
