Crystal Palace linked with a move to sign Eddie a Nketiah to replace Ghana striker Jordan Ayew

English Premier League side, Crystal Palace are reportedly exploring a move to sign England striker of Ghanaian descent, Eddie Nketiah before the summer transfer window is shut.

If the deal is finalized, the forward will replace Ghana striker Jordan Ayew who parted with Crystal Palace to sign for Leicester City a few days ago.

Reports last week went rife that Eddie Nketiah will be joining Nottingham Forest this summer after agreeing personal terms with the club.

In a latest development, the talented forward’s potential move to Nottingham Forest has hit a snag following a break down in agreement between both clubs.

A deal worth up to £30million ($39.6m) was in place between the Premier League clubs but the 25-year-old will not be joining Forest.

Meanwhile, Nketiah is expected to leave Arsenal before the summer transfer window closes.

Nketiah has been a subject of interest for several clubs including Marseille and the Premier League club as both teams aim to bolster their attack for the 2024/25 campaign.

The English international of Ghanaian descent wants to leave Arsenal for consistent game time, having struggled to compete for a place in the starting lineup of the London club.
