Arsenal attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard has raved about his teammate Eddie Nketiah on Stadium Astro.

Odegaard has said that Arsenal striker Nketiah has worked hard the entire season and trains brilliantly at London Colney.

The 22-year-old striker scored twice for Arsenal against Chelsea in the Premier League last week.

Odegaard said about Nketiah on Stadium Astro: “He has worked so hard the whole season, he has trained so good, and yeah, I am really happy for him.”

Emirates Stadium exit inevitable?

In our opinion, it is (almost?) inevitable that Nketiah will leave Arsenal at the end of the season.

The current campaign will end in a matter of weeks, and there is no agreement between Arsenal and the former Leeds United loanee over a new deal.

The Times reported last week that Nketiah is considering offers from Crystal Palace and Borussia Monchengladbach and could leave Arsenal for good.

We think that it would be best for the 22-year-old if he starts afresh at a new club.

The youngster is a squad player at Arsenal at the moment, and that is unlikely to change next season.

Nketiah has made three starts and 13 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal so far this season, scoring two goals and giving one assist in the process.
