Arsenal sent transfer message by Premier League rival amid 'surprising' Eddie Nketiah form

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has set the Premier League alight since returning to Mikel Arteta's starting line-up. The Hale Ender has scored six goals in six games since the resumption of domestic football after Gabriel Jesus' knee injury.

The Brazilian started all of the Gunners' opening 14 Premier League games in the first half of the season, scoring five and assisting another six to help Mikel Arteta's side rise to the top of the table. However, Jesus suffered medial ligament damage to his knee during Brazil's World Cup defeat to Cameroon, ruling him out for a number of months.

In his absence, Nketiah has slotted straight into Arteta's attacking line and has picked up where he left off from the end of last season. The forward netted five times in seven games following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's January exit before mainly being utilised off the bench this term.
