Crystal Palace have signed Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah on a five-year contract, the Premier League reports.
Neither club revealed financial details of the transfer, but English media reported that Palace paid around 30 million pounds ($39.38 million) for the 25-year-old.
“Signing a contract with Crystal Palace is fantastic. I’m excited to go,” Nketiah said in a statement. “Every time I come back to south London I always have a smile on my face, so it’s good to be back home.”
Nketya scored 38 goals in 168 appearances for the north London side. He joined Arsenal’s academy at the age of 16 and made his first-team debut in 2018.

Brazil international Neto, who previously played for Juventus, Valencia and Barcelona, has made 61 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth since joining the club in 2022.
“I’m living a dream in my life, a dream come true, and I’m very, very happy,” Neto said.
“When I was a child I had two dreams: to play in a football team. It was my team in Brazil, where I grew up and became a professional footballer, and also Arsenal. And now I understand it. I am really a happy person,” he added.
Neto will be Arsenal’s back-up goalkeeper and David Raya is expected to be the first name in the squad for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Last season’s winners Arsenal host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday but Neto is ineligible for the match and the 35-year-old will join up with the squad next week.
