Arsenal may be on the lookout for reinforcements in their forward line but that has not stopped Eddie Nketiah from coming to the fore as an option for Mikel Arteta. The striker has started the last two friendly games for the Gunners and his performances have not only contributed to the two victories but looking deeper into his game reveals that things are changing.
There is a lack of confidence amongst a portion of the Arsenal supporter base that Nketiah can be enough for the Gunners to maintain their title charge in Gabriel Jesus’ absence through injury. Calls for a striker signing this winter are even perhaps bearing some fruit as rumours the club may look to add another forward to their wanted list in January are gaining pace.
Nketiah himself believes he is ready for this. Speaking after the game against Lyon in which he scored, the 23-year-old detailed his determination to help the team toward their goals.
