# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Eddie Nketiah interest

**[Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1412018517176733698) has claimed that Crystal Palace and West Ham are interested in signing Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah this summer.**

And a number of Palace fans have been sharing their frustration at the links on social media.

Transfer expert Romano was replying to a post from [@ZRAFC](https://twitter.com/ZRAFC/status/1412016569782259712), where they relayed Romano’s claim on the 22-year-old’s future.

Nketiah still has [12 months left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/profil/spieler/340324) on his Emirates deal but is [expected to leave the Gunners this summer.](https://twitter.com/ZRAFC/status/1412016569782259712) Palace, West Ham and Bayer Leverkusen are just three sides all keen on the forward, who has [scored 16 goals in 17 England Under-21 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/profil/spieler/340324).

He started just [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/leistungsdaten/spieler/340324/plus/0?saison=2020) Premier League appearances last season under Mikel Arteta, [netting six times in 30 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-nketiah/leistungsdaten/spieler/340324/plus/0?saison=2020) in all competitions.

New Palace boss Patrick Vieira has strong Arsenal connections, so should the Eagles firm up their interst, his Selhurst Park arrival could sway a move in Palace’s favour.

### Palace fans react

Romano’s reply to [@ZRAFC](https://twitter.com/ZRAFC/status/1412016569782259712) got the attention of numerous Palace fans, but not for the right reasons. This is what some had to say in reply, with one reacting to [@CPFCtransfersHQ](https://twitter.com/CPFCtransfersHQ/status/1412349287657213957), blaming chairman Steve Parish.
