Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has raved about Eddie Nketiah on the club’s official website.
Arteta has said that the 21-year-old striker is fighting hard for his place in the starting lineup and is very committed in training.
The Spaniard has disclosed what the England Under-21 international tells him in training which underlines his ambition and hunger.
Arteta told Arsenal’s official website about Nketiah: “He’s another one that is fighting and knocking on the door every day. I really like his mentality. He’s cultured, he comes into the training ground and he says ‘I should’ve scored four’ so that’s the type of ambition and hunger that you want from players.”
Staying patient
Nketiah is a very talented and promising young striker who has a bright future ahead of him.
The Englishman is not guaranteed a place in the Arsenal starting lineup due to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, but he does take his chances and has impressed when he has been called into action.
The former Leeds United loanee needs to stay patient and work hard in training, and perhaps in the coming weeks and months he will become a regular in the starting lineup.
According to WhoScored, Nketiah has scored one goal in 145 minutes in the Premier League and has scored one goal in three Europa League matches for Arsenal so far this season.
Arsenal will take on Leeds in the Premier League this weekend.
