Eddie Nketiah is on the verge of joining Crystal Palace from Arsenal in a deal worth £25 million, with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 24-year-old striker has agreed to the transfer and is scheduled to undergo medical tests shortly.

Transfer Details

The agreement between Crystal Palace and Arsenal includes a fixed fee of £25 million, with the possibility of an extra £5 million based on performance-related add-ons. Nketiah accepted the move to Crystal Palace two days ago, and the transfer has now received the green light from Arsenal.

Background

Nketiah, who has been with Arsenal since his youth, has seen limited playing time in recent seasons. His potential move to Crystal Palace follows a series of negotiations between the two clubs, which resumed earlier today. Personal terms between Nketiah and Crystal Palace were agreed upon yesterday.

Previous Transfer Interests

Before finalising the deal with Crystal Palace, Nketiah was linked with several other clubs. Nottingham Forest had shown interest in the striker, and a potential transfer to Marseille fell through earlier this month.

Player Profile

Eddie Nketiah, known for his pace and goal-scoring ability, has primarily played as a forward. His career at Arsenal included several loan spells, and he has represented England at various youth levels. The move to Crystal Palace is expected to provide him with more regular first-team opportunities.
