Crystal Palace Interested in Signing Arsenal Striker Eddie Nketiah
Crystal Palace has expressed interest in acquiring the services of Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah. However, securing a deal for the talented England forward seems unlikely as Arsenal is reluctant to let him leave during this transfer window.
Long-standing Interest from Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace has been admirers of Eddie Nketiah for quite some time now. The club was keen on signing him last season under former manager Patrick Vieira.
Despite facing competition from Gabriel Jesus for a spot in Mikel Arteta’s side this season, Nketiah has managed to impress. He has contributed six goals and four assists in 26 appearances so far in the 2023-24 campaign.
Arsenal’s Pursuit of Ivan Toney
Arsenal has been linked with Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who has caught the attention of many clubs. However, Brentford manager Thomas Frank has made it clear that only an “unbelievable” offer would tempt them to part ways with the 27-year-old.
Crystal Palace’s Goal Scoring Woes
Crystal Palace has struggled to find the back of the net this season, scoring only 22 goals in 20 Premier League matches. The team recently played a goalless draw against Everton in the FA Cup.
