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.
