According to reports, Nketiah was keen on a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer, with French side Marseille and Premier League club Nottingham Forest also in the running for his signature.
However, the forward will now travel to South London to undergo his medical before signing a permanent deal with Palace.
Nketiah joined the Gunners from Chelsea’s Cobham Academy in 2015 before making his senior team debut in 2017 in a UEFA Europa League match.
Born in England to Ghanaian parents, Nketiah has played just once for the Three Lions, making his international debut in 2023.
The England international has played over 160 times for Arsenal, scoring 38 goals and providing seven assists.
