Arsenal star enjoyed a dream night at The Emirates and is now a new hero. Have the Gunners found their own Harry Kane?
Tottenham academy striker Harry Kane has haunted Arsenal in recent North London derbies… now the Gunners may have found their own answer.
Teenager Eddie Nketiah came off the bench to score after just five seconds against Norwich City, before heading in a winner 10 minutes later.
The Gunners had been on their way to a miserable defeat against the Championship side before Nketiah made his memorable contribution.
It was Nketiah’s first senior game at The Emirates, with his debut coming earlier this month in a Europa League tie in Belarus, where he came on in injury time.
Nketiah is just 18, and has been scoring goals at a prolific rate for Arsenal’s academy sides for the past two seasons.
Fans are understandably excited, and have been comparing him to Tottenham rival Harry Kane, and PSG ace Kylian Mbappe.
Perhaps they are getting a little carried away, but Nketiah looks seriously good, and is having the sort of instant impact Marcus Rashford made at Manchester United.
Arsenal fans are entitled to believe the sky is the limit right now for the teenage sensation…
