Nottingham Forest fans tear into Eddie Nketiah as shock stat emerges

Nottingham Forest fans ripped into Crystal Palace forward Eddie Nketiah after their 1-0 Premier League win over the South London side on Monday (October 21).

The 25-year-old turned down the chance to join Nuno Espirito Santo’s side in the summer transfer window, instead opting to remain in London with Crystal Palace.

Since joining Palace from Arsenal for £30million the striker is yet to make a single Premier League goal contribution in five appearances for his new club.

The game against Forest was arguably his best in a Palace shirt, creating four chances and having two shots on target before being replaced by Jean-Philippe Mateta after 66 minutes.

Nketiah isn’t the only player in the current Palace squad to turn down a move to Forest, Trevoh Chalobah, on loan from Chelsea, also had the opportunity to join the club but decided against it.

Eddie Nketiah mocked after rejecting Nottingham Forest

After an impressive start to life in the Premier League last season, Oliver Glasner is under immense pressure with Palace winless from their opening eight league games.

In stark contrast, Nottingham Forest are flying, sitting in eighth, just four points of the Champions League spots.

Fans have taken to X, formally known as Twitter, to revel in Nketiah’s misery after their win and impressive start to the season.
