Bobby Manzi reports that Arsenal and Crystal Palace have now reached a full agreement over the compensation package for Dan Casey. The player’s medical is booked, and once the formalities have been completed, he’ll link up with the Palace u21s.
Casey is technically out of contract at the moment, having come to the end of his Arsenal deal.
But given his age (17) and the fact the Gunners made him a contract offer, Palace had to agree a compensation package with Arsenal or have a fee set by a tribunal.

Casey was certainly in demand this summer, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that as well as Arsenal and Palace holding talks with him, Norwich City had also made contact over a potential transfer.
But Palace have been the clear favourites for a while now, and it was just a matter of reaching a compromise on the cost of his transfer.
With that now sorted, it should only be a matter of time until we get an official announcement.

Casey scored 21 goals for the Arsenal u18s in 2024/25, netting 18 times in 21 games in the u18 Premier League, twice in three games in the FA Youth Cup, and once in two u18 Premier League Cup appearances.
The teenager also made the step up to the u19s and the u21s on eight occasions, though he was less impactful in those limited minutes, with no goals or assists above u18 football so far.
