Graeme Souness admitted to being "amazed" at Eddie Nketiah 's contract situation after his display in Arsenal's 2-1 win over West Ham in the Premier League.
Nketiah, 22, joined the Gunners in 2017 after coming through Chelsea's youth ranks. He signed his first professional contract with the club at 18, but has found game time difficult to come by, making just under 90 appearances across all competitions.
Making his 17th outing of the season at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Souness was full of praise for the youngster. "I thought Nketiah was the best player on the pitch today," he said on Sky Sports. "He was always threatening, wanted to run forward, without the ball, stretch the defenders - ideal for a midfield player.
