Crystal Palace have renewed their interest in Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah.
The South London club have been here before. They were close to agreeing a deal for him last summer, only for that to fall through after terms could not be agreed. And then they tried again in January, only for their bid to be rejected.
Now they hope it may be third time lucky for them.
The 22-year old has a new deal on the table from the Gunners and has said that all talks about his future will be delayed until the end of the season.
However, he has already said that he wants more regular football and, whilst Mikel Arteta admits that he has been unfair in terms of the number of minutes he has given him, there can be no guarantees that will change next season, with the club looking to brin in a regular goalscorer during the transfer window.
Nketiah will not want for offers this summer. There are a number of other Premier League clubs interested in him, whilst Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach have been scouting him for two years.
