ARSENAL have rejected an initial enquiry for striker Eddie Nketiah from Crystal Palace, according to reports.
The Daily Mail have claimed that the Gunners have turned away an approach from the Eagles as they search for a new striker.
Arsenal have reportedly knocked back an approach for Eddie Nketiah from Crystal PalaceRex
Arsenal are said to have immediately informed Palace that the England international is not available.
The North London club are reportedly steadfast that a deal for Nketiah to leave the Emirates Stadium will not happen in January as things stand.
But it is yet to be seen if that may change in the near future depending on incoming business from Mikel Arteta’s side in the winter window.
Crystal Palace have been eyeing Nketiah for a long period of time and are in the market for a new centre-forward.
The 24-year-old is Arsenal’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with his five goals this term.
But he is often dished out limited game time by Arteta and is regularly chosen to play second fiddle to Gabriel Jesus.
