There are reports that Arsenal FC will include a sell-on clause in the deal that sends young player Dan Casey to Crystal Palace. This means if Palace later sells Casey to another club, Arsenal could receive a cut of that future fee.
Who is Former Arsenal boy, Dan Casey?
He is a youth player from Arsenal’s academy.
Last season, he played well for the Arsenal Under-18s, scoring 18 goals in 21 games in the U18 Premier League.
He was offered a professional contract by Arsenal, but he turned that down to get immediate senior team action.
What has been Agreed? / What Is Quite Likely?
Arsenal and Crystal Palace have reportedly agreed a compensation fee for Casey, because even though Casey was out of contract, his youth status means rules require compensation.
The sell-on clause is said to be part of this agreement.
What Is Not Fully Confirmed?
As of now, there is no official announcement from Arsenal or Crystal Palace, confirming all terms. Some sources say the signing is close, but not yet completed in public statements.
The exact size or percentage of the sell-on clause is not made public. We don’t know how much Arsenal might receive in future.
Why It Matters?
Sell-on clauses are common in youth transfers. They protect the original club in case the player becomes more valuable in future. For Arsenal, this means even though Casey left, there is a chance they benefit if his career rises. For Palace, agreeing to such a clause may be worth it if they believe Casey can develop into a higher-value player.
