Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has praised new signing Eddie Nketiah for his “high intensity in training” and all-round work ethic.

The forward, who joined from Arsenal on a five-year-deal in August, could make his debut for the Eagles against Leicester on Saturday.

“I could see it in the first training [session]. He is very good technically and he has a great finish,” Glasner said.

“We had a friendly game in the international break and he scored two goals. And what I’m really surprised at, in a positive way, is how hard he’s working in training.

“He’s always one of those guys who is running most in a training session, having the highest intensity in his training.

“This is also very, very positive for us and I’m happy that he’s here. We believe in his quality, we believe in his mentality and his character, and he showed it.

“He’s ready.”
