Arsenal: Arteta Takes Final Decision On Nketiah’s Future

Mikel Arteta will keep Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah for the rest of the season despite various offers for the youngster.

Naija News reports that Nketiah netted five goals in 19 appearances while on loan with Leeds in the first half of the season.

The Arsenal academy graduate has reportedly received several loan offers from Championship clubs.

Clubs such as Bristol City, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday all held talks over a short-term deal for Nketiah, with the 20-year-old expected to go back on another loan for the second part of 2019-20.

But reports have emerged that the striker will be staying put at the Emirates.

Arteta has been impressed with Nketiah’s attitude in training and wants to give him a chance.

Nketiah made nine total appearances last season, including three starts and scored against Burnley on the final day of the Premier League season.
