He was one of OM’s big files this summer. Tracked by the Marseille management to be a choice reinforcement in attack, Eddie Nketiah ultimately did not join the Canebière while the Olympian leaders faced the excessively high financial demands of the London management. Still on the way out, the 25-year-old center forward was tracked by English clubs. This Friday, it was finally Crystal Palace who finally won the bet.
“Crystal Palace are delighted to announce the signing of Eddie Nketiah on a five-year contract from Arsenal.announces the residents of Selhurts Park in its press release. Having grown up in Deptford, Nketiah returns to south London as an England international and a proven goalscorer at the highest level.» He will wear the number 9 at Palace and joins the Eagles for 36 million euros.
