Arsenal striker's finishing questioned as Mikel Arteta faces potential Gabriel Jesus injury fear

Former star Kevin Campbell has questioned Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah over his finishing ability following his extended contract at the club. The academy graduate impressed towards the back end of last season, earning a new deal to help solve the centre-forward issue in the squad.

However, since the signing of Gabriel Jesus in the summer, there has been a struggle for the 22-year-old to break into the first team again. So far, he has had cameo appearances from the substitutes bench, though he managed to score the winner against FC Zurich in the Europa League group stages.

Speaking to Highbury Squad, Campbell has thrown doubt over his ability, saying: "Eddie's a good finisher but yet to prove it year in and year out at the top level. I've said it myself previously, Eddie's not the answer. I'd love him to prove me wrong. I think he's improved his all-round game, but finishing-wise, I don't know if he's the answer."
