Eddie Nketiah's recent form, including his braces against Leeds and Chelsea have prompted Gunners fans to wonder how they could lost such a talent on a free this summer. Nketiah has reportedly rejected repeated contract offers in the hope to receive assurances of first team football, something he could surely source elsewhere given his impressive recent form.
His run in the team may well be related to this demand and if Mikel Arteta is trying to tempt the 22-year-old into staying then this tactic may work with the team appearing to enjoy having the energy and enthusiasm of Nketiah leading the line.
Alexandre Lacazette is set to leave the club this summer, with his contract set to expire and a lack of goals from the Frenchman also playing a part in Nketiah's promotion to a starting role. Despite this, and much talk of the ongoing striker situation at Arsenal, Arteta has expressed his desire for Nketiah to be 'left alone' as he contemplates a new deal.
