Arsenal want to loan Eddie Nketiah to another Premier League club so should Newcastle take a look?

Arsenal are ready to loan out promising youngster Eddie Nketiah and according to the Mirror they would like it to be to another Premier League club.

The report says that Nketiah is already a “cult hero” at the Emirates Stadium after scoring the two goals that beat Norwich City 2-1 in the Carabao Cup earlier this season after coming off the bench.

That was one of eight appearances the 18-year-old has made for the Gunners so far this campaign and the North Londoners believe the forward has the ability to make the grade with them.

Before then, though, it is time for a temporary spell elsewhere in the top flight of English football to get some much needed experience and perhaps Newcastle United should consider stepping forwards.

Finances are tight at St James’ Park and manager Rafa Benitez has had to rely on loan signings in recent times and attack is an area where arguably recruitment is needed.

Nketiah has the ability to play as either an out-and-out striker or on the wing, two positions the Magpies require support in, and with 15 goals in 25 Arsenal Under-23s games and seven in six for England Under-19s, the teenager also knows where the back of the net is.
