English-born Ghanaian youngster, Eddie Nketiah has earned praise from former Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce following his impressive goal scoring form in the past year.
The Arsenal striker who is currently on-loan at Leeds United has demonstrated since last season that he is one who can score goals.
He was banging in the goals for his parent club before securing a loan move to play in the Championship to ensure he enjoys regular playing time.
In a recent interview with BT Sport, Stuart Pearce who has been impressed with the striker has likened him to Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah.
“I think if I was a striker in this day and age, a young English striker, I’d just copy Mo Salah in his movement, running in behind.
“Nketiah’s certainly got that trait about him. The ones that run in behind are the ones that score goals in the modern game”, the former Manchester gaffer said.
Eddie Nketia already has four goals in the English Championship and is hoping to quickly cement a starting position in the Leeds United setup.
