Nketiah, 22, is out of contract at the Emirates and is reportedly not planning to sign a new deal with the north Londoners as he searches for more first-team action.
The Englishman has recently made a breakthrough with the Gunners, starting their last three Premier League victories and scoring a brace against. However, Arsenal are reportedly planning to buy two new strikers in the summer which will curb his long-term opportunities.
According to , Palace manager Patrick Vieira has been watching developments closely and will make another move for Nketiah after failing with a £10 million bid in January.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be unhappy to lose Nketiah considering he is already short of centre-forwards after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s departure to Barcelona in January.
Meanwhile, Alexandre Lacazette is also set to leave at the end of the season with his contract running out.
Since arriving at Arsenal, Nketiah has struggled to hold down a first-team place, often playing a bit-part role in the cup competitions.

He is also the record goalscorer for England’s Under-21 side so is not short of suitors with German club Borussia Monchengladbach reportedly interested in his signature along with Palace.
Speaking earlier this year, Nketiah revealed why he is looking for a move away from the Gunners.
He told : ‘There have been offers of a new contract but at the moment my aim is to play football and play regularly. That’s my ambition and that’s what I hope to do but at the same time I’m at Arsenal, I love Arsenal.
‘What I can say is just that I love the club. I’m a childhood supporter as well, people need to remember this. It has always been my goal to be the number nine for Arsenal and that only. I think I’m good enough to do that and I’ve always been driven towards that.’
