Arsenal AGREE deal to sell Eddie Nketiah to Crystal Palace in £30m transfer with star set for medical
CRYSTAL PALACE have agreed a £30million deal to sign Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal.
Nketiah is now set to undergo a medical with the Eagles this week after accepting personal terms.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Palace will pay £25million for the striker, with a further £5million in add-ons.
Arsenal’s preference had been to sell Nketiah rather than loan him out, the report adds.
The 25-year-old previously spent the first half of the 2019/20 season on loan at Leeds.
However, he has now been given permission to have a medical as the two clubs finalise their agreement, The Athletic report.
Nketiah will become Oliver Glasner’s fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Ismaila Sarr, Chadi Riad and Daichi Kamada.
Palace have made a slow start to the new season, though, losing their opening two matches to Brentford and West Ham.
