Palace closing in on signing Arsenal's Nketiah

Crystal Palace are close to signing Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah in a deal worth in the region of £30m.

The Eagles have pursued the England international for a long time and asked about his availability in January this year but he stayed with Arsenal.

The deal is believed to be structured with a fee in the region of £25m upfront with £5m in add-ons.

Nottingham Forest had been in advanced talks with Arsenal over a £30m deal for the 25-year-old but opted to withdraw and are no longer pursuing the forward.
