Arsenal have loaned out Eddie Nketiah to Leeds United for the season, and he has made a bright start at Elland Road.
Eddie Nketiah’s popularity at Leeds United and Arsenal was clear, after he posted a photo in England training.
Nketiah has been called up to England’s under-21 squad after his bright start to his loan spell at Leeds.
The Arsenal youngster has hit three goals already for Marcelo Bielsa’s men, and his form has kept him in the forefront of the Three Lions mind.
And after being called up to England’s under-21 squad he was training alongside fellow Arsenal youngster Reiss Nelson.

The responses to the tweet were positive from both Arsenal and Leeds fans.
Gunners supporters were delighted to see two of their best prospects together, while Leeds fans simply didn’t want Nketiah picking up any injuries on international duty.
Best English striker

Nketiah has had to be patient at Leeds, and he is still waiting for his first league start, but he has managed to make a big impact.
The rapid forward has netted three goals in just five appearances for Leeds to date.
Nketiah will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Nelson at Arsenal, as the winger went out on loan last term before being given his first team chance by Unai Emery this time around.
