I asked Grok:

No, Dan Casey is not yet officially on Crystal Palace's books as of September 15, 2025. While Arsenal and Crystal Palace reached an agreement on a compensation package for the 18-year-old midfielder around September 8–9, 2025, and reports indicated he was scheduled to undergo a medical within 24 hours of that, there has been no official announcement from the club confirming the completion of the transfer, paperwork, or his registration with the U21 squad. As of September 12, Casey was still not listed in Palace's U21 Premier League squad, and no subsequent updates or official club statements have emerged to indicate the deal has been finalized. Since Casey was out of contract at Arsenal, the move can occur outside the standard transfer window, but formalities like the medical and registration are required for him to be officially signed.
 
Ben Casey with another hat-trick in the 8-0 win over Ipswich.

The last sliding the ball under Wrelford's body , after a fast break and incisive ball to run on to to.

So Ian Wright.

The new manager Xavier Olonso and his team have these lads playing really good football.

21 goals in five games is hot hot.

A poster on X surmised he could be manging the first team. look out Ollie.

How on earth did this team get stuffed 2-5 at home by the Scousers?

It was much closer than the score suggests.

At 2-2 an own goal, then as so often happens conceding in injury time while pressing for an equaliser.

We are second to the Arsenal currently.

If you look at the highlights of this match the fourth Chelsea goal, an amazing own goal, has been editted out and the end of the match video shows the players shaking hands and the result showing 2-3!!! Obviously done to save embarrassment
 
Current summary:

The proposed transfer of Dan Casey, an 18-year-old versatile attacking midfielder from Arsenal's academy, to Crystal Palace has progressed to the advanced stages but remains unofficial as of mid-September 2025. Here's a breakdown of the key developments:

Background and Initial Interest

  • Casey, who joined Arsenal's academy in 2015, impressed with 21 goals in 26 appearances for their U18s during the 2024/25 season, earning occasional first-team training sessions and praise from captain Martin Ødegaard.
  • His contract expired in summer 2025, prompting Arsenal to offer a new deal to retain him as a homegrown talent. However, Casey declined, seeking more immediate opportunities elsewhere.
  • Early interest emerged from Crystal Palace and Norwich City, with both clubs contacting Arsenal in mid-August to discuss a potential move. Palace quickly became the frontrunners, viewing Casey as a replacement for their outgoing academy prospect Jesse Derry (who joined Chelsea).
Key Milestones in the Deal

DateDevelopmentDetails
August 14, 2025Initial contacts reportedFabrizio Romano confirmed Palace and Norwich's interest; Arsenal pushed for a new contract amid ongoing talks.
August 28–29, 2025Compensation negotiations beginPalace neared an agreement on a fee with Arsenal, despite Casey's free-agent status (tribunal-required due to his age and rejected extension).
September 8, 2025Fee agreed; medical scheduledArsenal and Palace finalized the compensation package (undisclosed amount, including a sell-on clause for the Gunners). Casey was set for a medical within 24 hours and to join Palace's U21 setup.
September 9–10, 2025Further confirmationsReports reiterated the deal's closeness, with Casey expected to link up post-medical. Social media buzz highlighted the agreement.
September 19, 2025Still pending announcementDespite the agreement, no official confirmation from either club; Casey was omitted from both squads' Premier League lists submitted on September 12 (likely due to timing).
Current Status
As of September 22, 2025, the transfer is expected to be completed imminently, with formalities (including the medical) wrapping up soon. Casey is anticipated to bolster Palace's youth ranks, where his versatility (able to play as an attacking midfielder, striker, or winger) could accelerate his path to first-team minutes under manager Oliver Glasner. Arsenal benefits from the sell-on clause for any future sale. No major hitches have been reported since the fee agreement, suggesting the deal is on track to finalize without further delays.
