Adrian Clarke has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Eddie Nketiah reportedly leaving Arsenal for Leeds United on transfer deadline day.

According to Sky Sports, Nketiah will join Championship club Leeds on loan from Premier League outfit Arsenal.

Former Arsenal midfielder Clarke has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the 20-year-old forward reportedly set to move to Leeds.

The 44-year-old, who works as a pundit for talkSPORT among others, has praised Nketiah, and has compared the youngster to Arsenal legend Ian Wright.

Good deal for both parties here. Eddie misses a few but is a very sharp all round striker that’s ready for this challenge. Reminds me a bit of Wrighty. #lufc https://t.co/9d10TrcE2N

Good signing for Arsenal?

Nketiah is a very talented and promising young forward, and Clarke’s tweet will excite the Leeds fans.

Wright is one of the greatest strikers to have played in the Premier League, and if the 20-year-old is half as good as the former England international, then Leeds will have a fantastic player on their books.

Nketiah, though, will have to hit the ground running, as he will be replacing Kemar Roofe, who was a star for Leeds last season and recently joined Anderlecht in Belgium.
