According to a source, Crystal Palace abruptly cancelled Dan Casey’s move there, so the deal is currently off. According to Bobby Manzi, Dan Casey’s planned transfer to Crystal Palace is currently on hold because the player’s contract with Arsenal expired this summer.
According to Manzi, there was unanimous consent from all parties, then Palace abruptly called off the event. The journalist goes on to say that the athlete had also accepted personal terms and that there is no injury, suggesting that the medical issue wasn’t the issue. The 18-year-old will have had a frustrating few months, but it’s unclear what will happen next.
Casey’s scholarship deal ended this summer after he scored 20 goals for the Arsenal u18s the previous season, but the Gunners offered to prolong it by signing him to professional terms. While considering his choices, which included bids from Norwich City and Crystal Palace, the teenager postponed accepting.

In the end, he chose to join with Palace; according to Fabrizio Romano, a physical was scheduled on September 9th, and Palace and Arsenal had reached an agreement on a compensation package.
Given his age and the offer from Arsenal, Casey could only sign with a new team provided they gave the Gunners a reasonable price. The two clubs had two options: go to a tribunal or agree on a fee themselves.
After reaching an agreement on a compensation deal, Arsenal and Palace chose the former path, but the purchasing club decided to back out. Exactly why Palace made that choice is unknown. There is always the chance that the adolescent will go back to Arsenal and take the available deal. Meanwhile, Casey is still without a club.
