Crystal Palace have signed forward Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal on a five-year-deal, both Premier League clubs said on Friday.
Financial details about the transfer were not disclosed by either club, but English media reported Palace paid around £30 million for the 25-year-old.
Thank you @arsenal ❤️

"It's amazing to sign for Crystal Palace. I'm excited to get going," Nketiah said in a statement.
"Every time I come back to South London, it always puts a smile on my face, so it's good to be back home."
Back South.

Welcome to Palace, Eddie Nketiah 🤙#CPFC
Nketiah has scored 38 goals in 168 appearances for the north London club.
He joined Arsenal's academy at the age of 16 and made his first team debut in 2018.
Midfielder Emile Smith Rowe, also a product of Arsenal's academy, joined Fulham on a five-year contract for some £27 million earlier in this month.
