Emmanuel Petit tells Mikel Arteta Eddie Nketiah "has to stay" amid Tammy Abraham pursuit

Ex- Arsenal man Emmanuel Petit has advised Mikel Arteta to hand Eddie Nketiah a new contract, despite reports he also wants to sign Tammy Abraham.

Hale End graduate Nketiah is out of contract at the end of the season, and looks set to depart from the Emirates. Gunners boss Arteta has handed the 22-year-old increased game time in recent weeks, which Nketiah has capitalised on.

The forward scored twice to inspire Arsenal to a 2-1 win over Leeds last weekend, backing up a performance that earned him high praise against West Ham that resulted in the same scoreline. Having also scored twice in the massive win over Chelsea last month, Arsenal will no doubt be regretting letting Nketiah near the end of his contract.
