I’m so happy for Eddie Nketiah - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta

Published on: 09 May 2022

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed his excitement after Ghana target Eddie Nketiah scored a brace in their 2-1 win over 10-man Leeds United in the English Premier League on Sunday.

The 22-year-old put up an incredible performance as he helped the Gunners seal a vital win to put them firmly in the driving seat for a top-four spot.

Nketiah has now scored four goals in 18 league games for Arsenal so far this season.

"Absolutely deserved because nobody sees what he's done throughout the year, but it's not a coincidence that now he's picking up and he's just scoring goals and he's performing and enjoying the way he is at the moment," Arteta said as quoted by arsenal.com

"I’m so happy for him."

It was a fourth successive win for Mikel Arteta's side.

The victory strengthens Arsenal's 4th position on the league table with three matches left to play and now holds a four-point lead over Tottenham in fifth.
