The best possible Crystal Palace lineup after Eddie Nketiah and Trevoh Chalobah transfers

Crystal Palace made two major signings in the summer 2024 transfer window, bringing in Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah as part of their attacking solution while replacing Fulham-bound star center back Joachim Andersen with Chelsea's underappreciated Trevoh Chalobah. While Chalobah isn't necessarily going to be immediately as good as Andersen, he is a useful addition to the back line and could prove to be a better solution for Crystal Palace in the long run with a greater resale value, owing to his younger age. Meanwhile, Nketiah is a gamble at 30 million pounds, but the talented striker has the ability to become one of the top strikers in the Premier League, especially with a strong supporting cast around him.

Fabrizio Romano provides encouraging update on Eddie Nketiah transfer saga

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah is a homegrown talent of the club and one of the better strikers in the Premier League, which he proved during a successful spell of starts in the middle of the 2022/23 season after starter Gabriel Jesus suffered an injury.

So that has made Nketiah expendable. After selling Emile Smith-Rowe to Fulham for more than 30 million pounds, Arsenal are hoping to get similar value for Nketiah on the transfer market. But they have been met with roadbloacks. Marseille were interested but unwilling to submit a serious financial offer, possibly because most L...

Arsenal lose out on key transfer suitor for £30 million forward

Arsenal are still in the hunt for new attacking options to help the quintet of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus (currently injured), Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka out. A striker has long been viewed as the main priority target for Arsenal this summer after two seasons of coming up short against Erling Haaland and Manchester City, but the Gunners have been just as invested in finding winger depth, with Athletic Club star Nico Williams making the rounds as a favored option. Arsenal have already secured two major summer signings in Real Sociedad center midfielder Mikel Merino and Bologna's Riccardo Calafiori, both of whom are among Europe's best in their roles. Now, Arsenal are pushing to make some more sales on top of the profit they generated from Emile Smith-Rowe...
