Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah is showing why he is the perfect backup striker for summer signing Gabriel Jesus under Mikel Arteta.
Jesus completed a £45million move from Manchester City to the Emirates Stadium in the summer following the exits of both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arteta was keen to sign a world-class striker to lead his attack despite Nketiah enjoying a good run of form at the back end of last term.
Nketiah signed a new long-term deal at the Emirates Stadium in the summer as he changed shirt numbers to the iconic No.14, previously worn by his idol and Gunners legend Thierry Henry. The young striker has had to settle for a backup role behind Jesus for Arsenal this season, but one key stat proves Nketiah is the perfect rotation option for Arteta.
