Eddie Nketiah has opened up about his move to Crystal Palace after nearly a decade at Arsenal, discussing his strong friendship with teammate Eberechi Eze and his new role on the pitch. Nketiah, who joined Palace for £25 million, emphasized that he needed to find a place where he could get consistent playing time and develop his skills. He mentioned that playing as a "No. 10" allows him more freedom and engagement in the game, contrasting with his previous role where he often played with his back to goal.

His decision to leave Arsenal was driven by a desire for more opportunities, as he felt his growth was stalling while competing for minutes at a club with significant talent depth. Nketiah expressed excitement about the project at Palace and his aspirations to help the team improve. He also highlighted the importance of building relationships with his fellow attackers, suggesting that once the team gels, they can be quite dangerous on the pitch
