Crystal Palace have reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign Eddie Nketiah on a permanent deal. The striker will make the move for a fee worth £25 million upfront plus £5 million in add-ons.
Personal terms have already been agreed between the player and the Eagles a couple of days ago. The medical tests will be completed in the coming days, after which Nketiah will be presented as a new signing for Palace.

In spite of interest from the likes of Marseille and Nottingham Forest, the 25-year-old will remain in London but will be making the move across the capital.
He leaves Arsenal after coming through the academy setup and spending nine years on their books. With Jordan Ayew joining Leicester City a few days ago, it remains to be seen if he gets regular playing time ahead of Jean Mateta under Oliver Glasner.
Crystal Palace have had a remarkable performance in the transfer window this summer, and adding Nketiah to their ranks is perhaps the best way to cap things off.
Did Nketiah go on loan?
Yes, he was on loan at Leeds in 2019-2020
