Eddie Nketiah’s future at Arsenal remains uncertain, but staying at the club is still a possibility, as several interested clubs have yet to secure his signature.
Olympique Marseille and Nottingham Forest came close to signing the striker, but with just days left before the transfer window closes, Nketiah remains an Arsenal player, and a new suitor has emerged.
Crystal Palace, who had shown strong interest earlier in the summer, are now monitoring the situation again.
The Eagles are planning some late transfer moves, and signing a new striker is among their priorities.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Palace has reignited its interest in Nketiah as it seeks to bolster its attacking options.
Arsenal is open to offloading the Englishman in the final days of the transfer window, but they are not in a rush and expect their asking price to be met.
If Palace is serious about signing him, they will need to meet those demands, with negotiations likely to intensify in the coming days.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Selling Nketiah before this transfer window closes would be a good way to end the summer, and hopefully, that will happen.

Fourth time lucky? Will Crystal Palace succeed after Olympic Marseille, Bournemouth and, most recently, Forest all failed? But if he does go, that leaves Havertz and the injured, yet again, Jesus as strikers.
I believe its his wages, is the sticking point.
For Marseille and Forest.
Ornstein and Romano have said the deal is very close to be agreed. Romano has reported personal terms are agreed and club agreement is expected to happen. Let’s hope it comes true and fast enough that we can get another forward this week.
Let’s hope so. We’re edging closer to a scenario where we sell Eddie (at long, long last) but possibly run out of time to bring in a replacement.
Arsenal is certainly at risk with potential sales – Ramsdale, Nelson, Kiwior and Tierney (not that we’d probably get much for him) are all still on the list with four days left.
If it is about his wages then it’s a shame he’s putting money before playing. I know it’s not his fault he is on such high wages but surely he would prefer to start each week at another club and earn a bit less than stay with us and sitting on the bench and playing the occasional game. After all, the money he is being offered at other clubs is hardly going to make him destitute is it.
I agree. When Forest came in, I said in a post then that I thought a player of his age with years ahead of him would not put maintaining his Arsenal wage (reported to be variously £77k, £100k or £120k a week) in front of regular first team football. That seems to be a misreading of his priorities. Perhaps Palace will be more generous.
As Crystal Palace are once again want to sign Arsenal’s Eddie Nkethia before this summer window closes.
I believe that the Eagles already know the amount of money that OM and Nottm For have offered Arsenal to sign Nkethia. And what led to the collapsed of the transfer of Nkethia to OM an Crystal Palace. And so therefore, let the Eagles find the ways to come up with an improved offer to sign Nkethia specially as it concerns his Arsenal wage earnings. And be quick because Arsenal can want to replace Nkethia if he leaves as only 4 days are left in the window to close.

I’m tire of repeating the obvious by now. We sell when our valuations are met, you can’t eat your cake and have it. You want us to stop selling chip and complain when we don’t, you still complain when we are trying to fix a problem that has affected the club (cheap sellers) for about or over a decade now by doing the same thing (selling cheap), no mental fortitude to sheid you through the storms you face when making a change. Some like the short cut in life, quick fix, like everything comes easy in life.
