Bukayo Saka sends Eddie Nketiah ‘important’ message after Arsenal chance taken in West Ham win

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has heaped praise onto Eddie Nketiah after the Hale Ender marked his return to Mikel Arteta's starting line-up with his first Premier League goal of the season.

Prior to the Gunners' Boxing Day win over West Ham United, Nketiah had only featured in 141 minutes of league action. However, following Gabriel Jesus' injury in the World Cup, the 23-year-old looks set to lead the line for the time-being and started his first league game since May.

After a quiet opening 45 minutes, Nketiah began to alter proceedings in north London as the Gunners came from behind to score three second half goals. The striker made sure of the three points with a fine finish after brilliantly leaving Thilo Kehrer.
