Crystal Palace are aiming to complete the signing of Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah for around £30m, according to reports.
The 25-year-old has made 76 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners across the past two seasons, the majority of them as a substitute, but has failed to come off the bench in the opening two games of the Premier League season.

Nketiah – who won his lone England cap off the bench against Australia last October – was linked with a move to Selhurst Park during the January transfer window but stayed at the Emirates.
He had looked set for a move to Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer window but talks broke down, allowing Palace to come in with a deal which is said to be worth £25m with a further £5m in add-ons.
Forest had hoped to bring in Feyenoord’s Mexican forward Santiago Gimenez but he looks set to remain at the Eredivise club.
Nketiah has scored 38 goals in total across 168 games for Arsenal since making his first-team breakthrough in 2017/18 and has three years left on his contract.
