Ian Wright reacts to Eddie Nketiah being given Thierry Henry's iconic Arsenal No.14 shirt

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has jumped to the defence of Eddie Nketiah after he was handed the famous No 14 shirt at the Emirates.

The 23-year-old was facing the exit door this summer with his contract winding down but he and the club have reached an agreement and the striker has now penned a long-term deal in north London. Nketiah became Mikel Arteta's main man in attack towards the end of the season.

He scored five times in the final weeks having previously been the back-up to the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette. There have been doubts over Nketiah's ability to cut it at the top level with Arsenal targeting a return to the Champions League.
