Gary Lineker shares his honest reaction to Eddie Nketiah’s Crystal Palace debut after leaving Arsenal
After making the switch from Arsenal to Crystal Palace on deadline day, Eddie Nketiah has needed to be patient for his debut in south London.
Nketiah arrived at Palace too late to play away at Chelsea, a game he would have relished during his time at Arsenal.
Of course, Nketiah then had to wait during the international break, time he would have spent familiarising himself with Oliver Glasner’s ideas𝓰 and his new club as a whole.
Nketiah only had one brief spell away f💎rom the Emirates o🎃n loan, a period with Leeds United in which didn’t play much of a role.
Therefore, it’s a big step in Nketiah’s career, a striker who still 🐷haꦰs so much to offer and one who will perhaps be targeting an England recall.
Eddie Nketiah told he’ll do ‘really well’ for Crystal Palace after Arsenal exit
Speaking on , both Gary Lineker and Danny Murphy reflected on Nk🔯etiah’s display, whꦯo played the whole 90 minutes.
Nketiah didn’t score in the late🌳 2-2 comeback, one led by Jean-Phillipe Mateta, but he was impressive throughout.

Starting the chat, Lineker said: “Eddie Nketiah made his first start didn’t he for Palace, he looked lively.🏅”
Murphy replied: “He did look sharp, it was a good game actually, and I thought the way he set him up surprised me, he played a front three – with Mateta at the tip ofꦜ it, Eze to the left and Nketiah to the right, and he had good freedom.
“And although they haven’t had a win yet𝐆 Palace, it’s exciting with these three, they pop up on different areas of the pit🦋ch.
“We’ve ♏seen Eze’s quality and Mateta, we now know what he does well, but Nketiah, we only saw glimpses really at Arsenal, but he wants to get in there [into the box], he’s got good feet, he came and got onto the ball, he demanded it, I think he’s going to do really well for them.”
Raheem Sterling set for North London derby debut
Of course, Nketiah’s exit partly pav🐻ed the way for Raheem Sterling to arrive on deadline day.
Sterling has been electric in Arsenal training over the break, burning Bꦕen White in the latest video that the club uploade♔d.
Reiss Nelson’s loan move to join Emile Smith Rowe at Fulham was also crucial to the deal – a player ⛎who may not necessarily have a permanent Arsenal future.
And all in all, it’s hard not to conclude that Arsenal made the right decision offloading the likes of Nkeღtiah, Smith Rowe and Nelson, even if they were incredibly popular.
That being said, Harry Redknapp has shared his𒐪 North Lond🌃on derby prediction ahead of Sunday’s big clash.
