Arsenal youngsters Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli are very talented players.
The former Liverpool and Manchester United striker believes that 20-year-old Nketiah or Martinelli could become as good as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Express quotes Owen as saying: “I think they’ve got a nice little thing going under Arteta. They’ve got a nice blend as well. They’re bringing a few young players through, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli scoring goals as well.
“You never know, one of those two lads up front could turn into proper players and be like him [Aubameyang] scoring 20-plus goals a season and they’re worth their weight in gold. If you can unearth one of those from your academy, it’s a massive bonus.”
Stats
Aubameyang is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and is a key figure in the current Arsenal team.
The 30-year-old has scored 17 goals in the league so far this season and found the net 22 times in the league for the Gunners during the 2018-19 campaign, according to WhoScored.
