Arsenal's teenage midfielder Dan Casey is nearing a move to London rivals Crystal Palace.

The 18-year-old, who can play as an attacking midfielder, centre-forward or wide attacker, is set to join the Eagles' Under-21 setup.

Casey has been in the Arsenal academy since 2015 and scored 22 goals with one assist in the under-18s Premier League, according to stats on Transfermarkt.

Sources have told BBC Sport that a deal is close and that there will be a sell-on clause included.
