Newcastle United-linked striker Eddie Nketiah has revealed that game time will be the deciding factor behind his future this summer. Nketiah is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season and is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal despite a number of offers from the Gunners.
The 22-year-old made his first Premier League start of the season on Saturday in the 1-0 defeat at Southampton, with the former England U21 captain having been reduced to cameo appearances from the bench. Nketiah had offers to leave the Emirates in January but with Alexandre Lacazette the only other senior striker at the club, he remained in North London.
Newcastle, as well as other Premier League sides including Brighton and Crystal Palace, were all keen in the winter window and could revisit their interest if he becomes available on a free transfer. Speaking on the Beautiful Game Podcast, Nketiah claimed that while he loves Arsenal, it has got to the point in his career where he needs regular game time in order to further his development.
