Aaron Ramsdale has told The Fellas podcast that in-form striker Eddie Nketiah is the most underrated player at Arsenal.
Nketiah is the most underrated player at Arsenal, as per Ramsdale
While many may disagree after witnessing the 23-year-old bag a brilliant brace against Manchester United, which led to him garnering praise left, right and centre, it could well be true.
Before the Hale End graduate went on an impressive goalscoring run at the end of last season, he was largely considered as surplus to requirements by fans and pundits alike.
Aaron Ramsdale went on to explain why Eddie Nketiah is the most underrated player in the Arsenal squad.
“At Arsenal, I’d probably say Eddie Nketiah [is the most underrated player]. I know people have recently been saying how well he’s doing, which is all well and good. He’s very good, Eddie Nketiah is very, very good”, said Ramsdale.
He continued, “People just say he needs to score more. Watch the last few games, his link-up play is just as good as everyone talks about Jesus and his link-up play is incredible.”
“I know there was a time where he didn’t score in like 8 games or something, but he was making goals or bringing people in to play to score goals.”
“And Eddie’s doing the same now and because we’re still winning and scoring, people are starting to realise. The goal against West Ham I see him do day in and day out in training. Feel for the defender, turn him, every time.”
It’s getting impossible to underrate Nketiah anymore
While there may be truth in Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale calling Eddie Nketiah underrated, it is not the case anymore.
That is simply because the academy graduate has taken on the challenge of standing in for Gabriel Jesus as the side’s main No.9 with aplomb.
So much so that many even think that he may be a superior striker to the Brazilian international, which shows that many of his doubters have done a complete U-turn when it comes to Nketiah.
