Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah is on the brink of a significant career move as he prepares to undergo a medical at Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old forward has been granted permission by Arsenal to complete the medical examination according to David Ornstein, a crucial step before finalizing his transfer to the South London club.

Nketiah, a product of Arsenal’s esteemed Hale End academy, has spent nearly a decade with the Gunners. Despite showing promise and scoring 38 goals in 168 appearances for the club, he has struggled to secure a regular starting position under manager Mikel Arteta. This move to Crystal Palace represents a fresh opportunity for Nketiah to establish himself as a key player in the Premier League.

The transfer deal is reported to be worth, £25 million including an additional £5 million in potential add-ons. This agreement marks a significant investment by Crystal Palace, who are looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season. Nketiah’s move follows a series of collapsed deals, including a potential transfer to Marseille and Nottingham Forest earlier this month.

Nketiah’s departure is part of a broader reshuffle at Arsenal, with several players expected to leave before the transfer window closes. The Gunners have been active in the transfer market, both in terms of incoming and outgoing players, as they aim to build a squad capable of challenging for titles.

For Crystal Palace, securing Nketiah’s services is a statement of intent. The club has already made several key signings this summer, and Nketiah’s arrival will add firepower to their attack. For Nketiah, this move offers the chance to play regular first-team football and continue his development in the Premier League.
