LONDON — Crystal Palace has had a busy end to the transfer window by signing striker Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal and center back Maxence Lacroix from Wolfsburg. Nketiah has signed a five-year deal at Palace and moved in a deal worth up to a reported 30 million pounds ($39 million). The 25-year-old England international was the third-choice striker at Arsenal behind Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus and will now provide competition for Jean-Philippe Mateta at Palace. Lacroix's move reunited the 24-year-old French player with Palace manager Oliver Glasner, who coached Wolfsburg for two seasons. Palace also picked up U.S. goalkeeper Matt Turner on loan from Nottingham Forest.
