Arsenal central defender Rob Holding has told Sky Sports that Eddie Nketiah is one of the best finishers at the club.
Holding made the comments about the former Leeds United loanee while discussing the best finishers at Arsenal.
The central defender has said that if it is a small-sided game, then he would want the striker to be on his side because he wins those games.

Holding said about Nketiah: “Eddie is. You get Eddie in a small-sided game, you are winning, you are winning.”
Surprise
In our view, Holding’s comments about Nketiah might surprise Arsenal fans.
Well, some anyway.
The striker is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season.
It does now look likely that the 22-year-old will become a free agent in the summer of 2022.
Nketiah is a squad player at Arsenal and does not always get chances.
What is surprising is that if Nketiah is so good in finishing, as Holding says he is, then why he is not a regular in the first team.
The Arsenal no. 30 has not scored in eight substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season.
The youngster has scored five goals in five Carabao Cup games for the Gunners.
