Arsenal forward pushing for Crystal Palace transfer before Friday’s 11pm deadline

Arsenal are working to offload Eddie Nketiah before Friday night’s transfer deadline.

The Gunners striker came within touching distance of joining Nottingham Forest before a deal collapsed at the final hour.

Still set to be sold within the next four days, Nketiah is now pushing for a move to Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old is keen to join Olivier Glasner’s side, where he will play a much more important role.

Set to be one of the window’s latest movers, Nketiah’s proposed switch to Selhurst Park could cost as much as £30 million. As per The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the striker has already agreed personal terms with the Eagles.
