Arsenal have been urged to offer striker Eddie Nketiah a new contract at the end of the season, with the academy prospect set to leave the club as a free agent in the summer. It comes after the 22-year-old has begun to lead the line for the Gunners ahead of Alexandre Lacazette.
The Frenchman, like Nketiah, is also out of contract this summer, leaving Mikel Arteta with few natural centre-forward options. A number of players have been linked with a move to the Emirates to fill the soon to be vacant roles.
On the need for a striker in the upcoming transfer window, the Spaniard has said: “You can play good football, but you need enough goal threat in the team. The other thing is that he has to complement the other people we have, personally and on the pitch. We need the right profile.”
