Crystal Palace are considering a move for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah.
Nketiah had looked close to joining Nottingham Forest after the City Ground club agreed a fee worth up to £30million ($39.6m) with Arsenal for the 25-year-old.
But that deal has broken down after Forest were unable to finalise an agreement with the player.
Nketiah had previously appeared ready to join Marseille earlier this summer but the French side and Arsenal were unable to compromise on a price for the proposed switch. Marseille have since signed Elye Wahi from Lens.
Palace have held a long-standing admiration for Nketiah and spoke to Arsenal regarding the England international earlier this summer.
Nketiah has scored 38 goals for Arsenal after coming through their academy. He netted six times in 37 appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side in the 2023-24 campaign but has been an unused substitute in both of their Premier League games this season.
Palace have struggled at the start of the new campaign, suffering defeats against West Ham United and Brentford.
