The former Arsenal frontman is still waiting for his first Premier League goal for his new club after his £30 million switch to Selhurst Park last summer.

Nketiah, who has scored twice in the Carabao Cup, has been forced to watch from the sidelines as red-hot team-mate Jean-Philippe Mateta has taken centre stage with four goals in his last three matches.

But ex-Eagles striker Murray believes the 25-year-old will eventually prove his worth to Palace.
