According to BBC Sport’s David Ornstein, Arsenal hitman Eddie Nketiah is currently on his way to Leeds United to complete a season-long loan switch to Elland Road.

The 20-year-old is a real talent, and a season playing with the Whites under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa will do him the world of good.

In fact the deal will really benefit Arsenal too, as well as Leeds.

Bielsa’s side are expected to make a real push for automatic promotion this season, and having lost Kemar Roofe, the addition fo Nketiah could prove to be a vital one.

Patrick Bamford is a decent striker, but he definitely needs more competition, and the Arsenal man will surely provide him with that.

BBC Sport’s David Ornstein claims that the 20-year-old is on his way to Leeds to complete his loan move to the west Yorkshire club.

He has also claimed that Victor Orta made an impressive late pitch to sell Bielsa’s vision and convince him to reject likes of Bristol City, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Swansea City…

And Bielsa will be hoping that the Arsenal starlet can make a real impact for Leeds this season.
