'Wouldn't be surprised' - Tom Barclay delivers his verdict on Crystal Palace transfer following last-ditch claim

Tom Barclay believes Crystal Palace could make another offer for Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah in January. Palace were previously linked with the youngster this summer, but an ankle injury destroyed his chances of leaving the Emirates. Nketiah has 12 months remaining in his deal in north London and is almost completely out of the picture under Mikel Arteta. Arteta recently made a "last-ditch" attempt to convince the 22-year-old to stay with the Gunners, but the striker is willing to leave the club. Therefore, Barclay thinks that Patrick Vieira might try his luck to sign him when the winter transfer window opens.

"There was big interest in Nketiah in the summer, he's out of contract next summer," said Barclay speaking to GIVEMESPORT   "But he's 22, which means he's under 24 so Arsenal would be due some compensation, so it wouldn't be a free transfer. I wouldn't be surprised if they retained interest in Nketiah, though."
