Renowned transfer journalist Romano brings the latest news that Arsenal striker Nketiah's transfer has made significant progress. According to Romano, Nketiah has successfully completed the second part of his medical to join Crystal Palace, which marks the deal is close to completion.
Crystal Palace and Arsenal clubs are currently working hard to prepare the relevant documents and complete the final official steps. It is reported that the total transfer fee of this deal is 25 million pounds, and additional 5 million pounds of floating fee, the specific floating terms may involve the number of appearances of the player, the number of goals scored, or the team's performance and other factors.
Nketiah's contract with Arsenal was due to expire in the summer of 2027, but he failed to get a start in either of the first two rounds of the Premier League this season, which accelerated the process of his departure to some extent. Nketiah had a solid season at Arsenal last season, making 37 appearances for the team, including 13 starts, scoring six goals and dishing out three assists. Although his stats were not very impressive, he was still recognized by fans and the coaching staff for his hustle and tactical role on the field.
Nketiah is currently valued at €30 million in the German transfer market. Considering his age, potential and performance at Arsenal, it would be a good deal for Crystal Palace to sign him for such a price. For Nketiah, joining Crystal Palace will also be a new start in his career, and he is expected to get more opportunities and performance space in his new team.
With Nketiah's medical completed and transfer papers ready, the deal is expected to be officially announced in the near future. By then, Nketiah will officially become a member of Crystal Palace and contribute to the team's new season journey.
