Eddie Nketiah’s excellent performance against Leeds United has given Arsenal a reminder that extending his contract is the route to go down. The 22-year-old’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season.
The striker scored two early goals for the Gunners, as Mikel Arteta’s side ran rampant against a relegation-threatened Leeds side. The win has put Arsenal in the driving seat for Champions League qualification ahead of the north London derby on Thursday evening.
Nketiah has now scored four goals in the last four games he has started showing how crucial he has been to the team. The Gunners were in poor form before he was given the chance to lead the line for Arsenal, but Nketiah’s impact on the side has helped the north London side find form at the perfect time.
