I could see him being a real threat regularly playing for a high octane offence like that where he gets chances every game.
It seems like there is already some smoke around them trying to flog Nketiah to Palace for 30 and maybe it could set off a chain reaction if they do move for someone and make the figures work... 20 seems more likely the max you could see someone paying for Nketiah with his scoring rate, but I could see that move actually happening as a couple clubs in the Bundesliga have been linked to Mateta at Palace for 10 recently and for some reason they seem to be obsessed with Nketiah for several windows. Maybe they can get a new striker for just 20 million net if that all plays out.

Well I question the “these opportunities to win titles” phrase you use. They had that incredibly easy start last year which made them think they were better than they actually are. One win in seven where you struggle to score is not championship form.
