Wishing all the best for Exiting Hale Ender.
After nearly moving to Marseille and then Nottingham Forest, it looks like Eddie Nketiah has finally found a new home, as of writing this article Eddie has just completed his deal to be a new Crystal Palace player for a £30million package.
Having been long term admirers of the player, Palace have seem to have finally gotten their man as he could be potentially registered just in time for him to make his debut at the weekend against Chelsea. Regardless of how most Arsenal fans feel about him as a player there’s still no doubt in my mind that we’ll all be wishing the absolute best in his future endeavors out of the club.
He’s our most longest serving player currently in the squad along with Reiss Nelson, with him making his home debut under the legendary Arsene Wenger in an EFL cup game against Norwich city towards the back end of 2017, a match that’ll hold a special place in his heart for years to come given he came on late to score a brace in a 2-1 win.
Eddie also made 168 appearances for the club contributing a modest 38 goals and assisting a further 7, not numbers to set the world alight but you’ll give him breathing room considering most of those appearances were from the bench. However his most memorable match in an Arsenal shirt came as a started in a 5-0 win over Sheffield united last season where he netted his first ever premier league hattrick.
There are however key reasons why he never nailed a starting beth in the squad even after playing under a handful of Managers in his short Arsenal career. Though it would be harsh to say but I think that he was never really at the right level to be starting consistently for us even though I think he has a strong work ethic and attitude nevertheless His profile never really fit in with any manager we’ve had over the course of his career and I also think he lacks the elite finishing, box presence and ability to run in behind that we needed in a striker at the time.
I still wish him the very best in his future endeavors though given he’s one of our very own and also given he still possesses enough quality to flourish at other clubs in the PL.
I’m sure with a regular starting spot he will score lots of goals for Palace this season..

It’s all happening
Ramsdale is now a Southampton player as well as Nketiah off to Palace.
Wishing them both well on their footballing career
It’s not going to be an easy season to watch in some ways. Fulham, Palace (especially with us not getting Eze as I wanted ☹), Southampton.
Always a great attitude and hard worker. I loved it when he criticized Lokonga for having a poor attitude about not starting. Good Luck Eddie!
Thank goodness. After the disappointments of Olympic Marseilles, Bournemouth and then Forest over the last weeks his departure was beginning to look jinxed. Anyway, good luck to him.
Whether this means Arsenal will be able to try and bring in a striker (much needed, in my opinion) remains to be seen. It’s a pity Arsenal doesn’t have days rather than hours left in this window now, but we are where we are.
Raheem S having medical at Arsenal.
Merino Inj
Jesus Inj
Martinelli out of form
Kia isn’t a no9
Saka has no proper cover
Partey be inj soon
Midfield very light as is the forward line and this suppose to be a successful window plus sold most of our HG players?
We are two injuries away from a disaster.
Defence we are sound but that only can do so much.
Nelson is staying but we let Emile go then let Vieria go on loan?
Raya
Cali
Merino -Inj
Neto – loan
We’re suppose to challenge with this squad, be burnt out by xmas. Unless we manage a few deals before the window closes we will struggle to keep up with City this season
6 hours left and no
I really feel sorry for you 😂😂😂
Too light in attack in my opinion, and with Merino injured that leaves Rice, Partey, Odegaard, and Jorghino as our midfield options. Sure Nwaneri can “fill in” but can he produce if he is needed for a stretch?
Cross your fingers and hope for the best; Jesus out again (no surprise) and Merino injured after only 2 games.
Bubble wrap our remaining attacking players, hire security for them, because we can’t take another injury up front.
