Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah still looks ready to leave at the end of his contract this summer – and is considering an offer to join Crystal Palace.

That’s according to The Times, who claim that Nketiah is fielding offers as his contract winds down.

Come the end of June, Nketiah will be able to walk away from Arsenal and chase the first-team football he so craves.

It’s now claimed that Nketiah has offers on the table from both Crystal Palace and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Arsenal haven’t given up hope of changing Nketiah’s kind and convincing him to stay at the Emirates Stadium.

After all, Nketiah has started Arsenal’s last three games and scored twice against Chelsea in midweek.

Mikel Arteta then called Nketiah ‘phenomenal’, heaping praise on the Arsenal striker.

So far though, Nketiah has been steadfast in his stance that he wants to leave Arsenal and play first-team football elsewhere.

Patrick Vieira now wants to take Nketiah to Palace, raiding his former club Arsenal in the process.

Palace have long shown an interest in Nketiah but now seemingly have real hope of securing a free transfer.

Palace can’t officially offer Nketiah a pre-contract agreement but they will be speaking to his representatives in the hope of a deal.

Vieira does have strikers at his disposal though with Jean-Philippe Mateta, Odsonne Edouard and Christian Benteke all fighting for playing time.

Adding Nketiah would give Palace another goal threat though and another young player to join the movement, featuring alongside the likes of Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell and Michael Olise.

Staying in London may appeal to Nketiah, but could you blame him if he fancied heading to Germany?

English talents like Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham have developed brilliantly after making moves to the Bundesliga.

Nketiah may fancy the same for himself, hence considering Gladbach just as strongly as Palace right now. As things stand, it doesn’t look like Arsenal have a chance of changing Nketiah’s mind.
