Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has 'advised' Mikel Arteta on the future of Eddie Nketiah ahead of the summer transfer window. The 22-year-old striker sees his contract with the north London side expire in the summer, and is set to leave for free in the coming months.
Nketiah has impressed lately for the Gunners and has quickly grown into a key piece in Arteta's puzzle amid the race for Champions League qualification. The Hale End graduate has taken over the mantle as Arsenal's primary talisman and has now scored more Premier League goals from open play this season than Alexandre Lacazette, who too is set to leave at the end of the season on a free.
With a striker exodus on the cards at the Emirates this summer, Walcott labelled the former England youth international a 'very good player' that Arteta could make use of in the future. Speaking on Sky Sports, the former Gunner said: "I remember when Eddie (Nketiah) first came across to the first team, and the first thing that struck me was that he was fearless.
