Arsenal are set for a busy end to the summer transfer window as Mikel Arteta and Edu look to apply the finishing touches to their squad.
The Gunners have made one senior signing so far, bringing Riccardo Calafiori to the Emirates Stadium from Bologna.
Over the coming hours, Arsenal look set to complete the signing of Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad.
Meanwhile, several Gunners first-teamers have moved on from N5, including Emile Smith Rowe, Nuno Tavares and Albert Sambi Lokonga.
Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, another Arsenal first-teamer is set to depart the Emirates Stadium.
Eddie Nketiah set to swap Arsenal for Crystal Palace
The player in question is Eddie Nketiah, with Romano declaring “here we go” on his move from Arsenal to Crystal Palace.
A deal between the Gunners and the Eagles is now in place for £25million plus £5million in add-ons, said the transfer insider.
Romano also said Nketiah accepted a move to Palace two days ago, and his medical is now on the cards.
Who could Arsenal sign late in transfer window now Nketiah is set to leave?
Arsenal have been trying to get a deal over the line for Nketiah over the past few weeks, and it looks as though it’ll be third time lucky for the Gunners forward.
Nketiah had previously agreed personal terms with Marseille, but the French Ligue 1 side couldn’t match the Gunners’ asking price.
It looks as though the opposite was the case with Nottingham Forest, namely that had agreed a price with Arsenal but not personal terms.
Now, Nketiah looks set to not only stay in the Premier League, but also get to stay put in London.
Palace will be getting themselves an ‘unbelievable’ player, in Gabriel Jesus’ words, and there’s no doubt he’ll kick on as he gets to lead the Eagles line.
As for potential incomings, David Ornstein recently revealed that Arsenal want to sign a new back-up winger who could provide cover for Bukayo Saka on the right flank.
Nico Williams and Ademola Lookman have been linked with Arsenal, but it remains to be seen if the north Londoners will spend big on either player in the coming days.
