According to reports, Crystal Palace have expressed interest in Nketiah and previously engaged in discussions with Arsenal, although they are no longer actively negotiating. They are said to be lagging behind Nottingham Forest in the race to acquire the English striker.
Nketiah has garnered attention from several clubs recently, with Marseille appearing to be the closest to securing his services. However, the French side was unable to meet Arsenal’s valuation, resulting in the breakdown of the potential deal.
Both Forest and Palace are in need of a striker to bolster their offensive capabilities, with Nketiah being lauded as “reliable” in that aspect.
Currently, Forest heavily rely on 32-year-old Chris Wood and the injury-plagued Taiwo Awoniyi to address their attacking deficiencies. On the other hand, Nketiah, being youthful, seasoned, possessing a solid injury record, may be the ideal choice for Nuno Espirito Santo’s team.
The situation is fluid as clubs continue to evaluate their options in the transfer market. Stay tuned for more updates on Nketiah’s potential move as the window progresses.
