Leeds United striker Eddie Nketiah has opened up on his time at Elland Road.

Leeds United striker Eddie Nketiah has told the club’s official Twitter account that the club’s fans are ‘crazy’ – and praised pundit Ian Wright for his help.

The Whites took Nketiah on loan on deadline day earlier this month, pipping Bristol City to the Arsenal youngster’s signature.

The 20-year-old has been sent out to pick up first-team experience at Elland Road, and his time with the club has been a great success so far.

He’s scored twice in two Carabao Cup games so far this season, and even came off the bench to score the winner against Brentford last weekend.

Nketiah appears to be a fine penalty box poacher to bring on, offering ideal competition for Patrick Bamford in the Leeds attack following Kemar Roofe’s exit.

Despite scoring against Stoke City in midweek, Nketiah may remain on the bench, and ahead of this weekend’s game against Swansea City, he’s commented on life at Elland Road.

Nketiah commented on Leeds fans, branding them ‘crazy’ in a massive compliment to the passionate Elland Road crowd, admitting that he’s enjoying playing in front of them.

Nketiah also opened up on his relationship with pundit and former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, admitting that Wright has been a great help for him as a mentor, and wants to keep learning from him.
