Eddie Nketiah has proved his doubters wrong in 2023. The Arsenal striker may have had reason to be frustrated in the first half of the season after signing a new long-term contract and losing his place in Mikel Arteta's side to Gabriel Jesus.
Last campaign, the Hale End graduate became a regular in the Gunners' attack following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's controversial exit to Barcelona. After a string of inclusions off the bench, Nketiah started the final eight games of the season and scored five goals amid intense speculation surrounding his future.
Amid the rumours linking him with a free transfer move to Germany, Nketiah committed his future to the club in June. "I'm delighted Eddie is staying with us," Arteta said in the summer.
