Eddie Nketiah: Crystal Palace want Arsenal striker but Gunners unlikely to let him leave

Crystal Palace are interested in signing Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah, but a deal for the England forward looks difficult as the Gunners are unlikely to let him leave this month.

Nketiah has been competing with Gabriel Jesus for a place in Mikel Arteta's side this season and has scored six goals and provided four assists in 26 appearances so far in 2023-24.

Arsenal have been linked with Brentford striker Ivan Toney, whose manager Thomas Frank has said only an "unbelievable" offer could prise the 27-year-old away from the Bees.

Palace, who drew 0-0 with Everton in the FA Cup on Thursday, have scored 22 goals in 20 Premier League games this season.
