# Crystal Palace: Eddie Nketiah considering Selhurst Park offer

**Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah is considering an offer from Crystal Palace, according to [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/eddie-nketiah-considering-crystal-palace-and-borussia-moenchengladbach-offers-plmzfh27k).**

### The Lowdown: January offers

The Eagles were after Nketiah’s services during the January window and made [two](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11706/12528180/arsenal-reject-another-crystal-palace-bid-for-eddie-nketiah) bids for the striker.

However, as we know, the 22-year-old remained at the Emirates and has continued to play second fiddle to Alexandre Lacazette in recent months.

Nketiah has been handed rare starts in the Gunners’ last [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/leistungsdaten/spieler/340324) Premier League fixtures due to Lacazette’s absence and scored twice in a 4-2 win over Chelsea on Wednesday.

### The Latest: Palace offer

The forward is out of [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/profil/spieler/340324) in a matter of months, and according to [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/eddie-nketiah-considering-crystal-palace-and-borussia-moenchengladbach-offers-plmzfh27k), is now considering offers from Palace and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Arsenal haven’t given up hope of Nketiah signing a new deal, but the striker knows that Mikel Arteta is planning on bringing in at least one forward in the summer.

### The Verdict: Shrewd move

Nketiah, who Arteta labelled as ‘[extraordinary](https://www.arsenal.com/news/arteta-nketiah-extraordinary-his-age)’, showed his quality in front of goal in the week, and still just 22 years of age, a free transfer to Selhurst Park could be an inspired piece of business from Patrick Vieira, Steve Parish and Dougie Freedman.

He has contributed to [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/leistungsdaten/spieler/340324) goals in just [784](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/leistungsdaten/spieler/340324) minutes of action this season and can play [anywhere](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/profil/spieler/340324) across a front three, so clearly has ability and versatility which could prove useful if afforded more opportunities.

Reports in recent months have claimed that [Christian Benteke](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/crystal-palace-news/crystal-palace-christian-benteke-update-emerges/) could be on the way out this summer, so Nketiah may well be the perfect replacement for the Belgian in Vieira’s exciting young side.
