Good news: Crystal Palace manager announced the arrival of a key player……….

Before launching a bid for a Chelsea player, Crystal Palace is waiting to see whether the £50 million target becomes available.

Before making a bid to buy Chelsea No. 14 Trevoh Chalobah, Crystal Palace is awaiting Arsenal No. 14 Eddie Nketiah.

That’s what TEAMtalk says.

What has been said about Eddie Nketiah and Trevoh Chalobah, while Crystal Palace keeps an eye on both? Let’s examine this.

Crystal Palace holds off until Nketiah
TEAMtalk reports that Crystal Palace, Bayern Munich, and Roma are also interested in signing the Chelsea defender.

Having not given Chalobah a single minute of playing time this season, Mauricio Pochettino is eager to move the player.

Though money is being held to sign Nketiah, Dougie Freedman has not yet made an offer to Chelsea.

The England international is reportedly a top target for Crystal Palace this month if Arsenal decides to sell, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic. Football London reports that the Gunners have set a £50 million price tag on the Hale End graduate.The Lewisham, England, native won’t be sold, though, unless Arsenal acquires a new striker.

Despite Gabriel Jesus’ superiority over Nketiah at the Emirates Stadium this season, the Nigerian forward has still managed to score a good six goals and dish out four assists.

Chalobah might submit a bid shortly.
As of right now, it appears unlikely that Nketiah would sign a contract, thus Freedman may decide to make a bid for Chalobah in light of TEAMtalk’s reports.

It is improbable that Arsenal will acquire a new striker this month, as Mikel Arteta acknowledged last week.

According to the Evening Standard, the Spaniard stated: “At this time, it (signing a striker) does not look realistic.” My responsibility is to help our players get better, and we must work to maximize the performance of the guys we already have.

Nketiah is therefore likely to remain in north London, which implies a bid for Chalobah may be made later this month.
