Mikel Arteta tight-lipped on Eddie Nketiah's Arsenal future

Published on: 09 May 2022

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta chose not to reveal whether Ghana target Eddie Nketiah will stay at the club in the summer or not after hitting a brace in their 2-1 win over 10-man Leeds United in the English Premier League on Sunday.

The 22-year-old is out of contract in the summer and it is not clear if he will stay with the Gunners.

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

"Eddie is doing what he’s done all season, he’s been very consistent, with his performances and how little he is giving things away!" Arteta said as quoted by arsenal.com

"Let him be, let him enjoy the moment because he completely deserves it and things will happen naturally."

Nketiah has started the last five games for the Gunners after previously struggling for minutes under Arteta.

The highly-rated forward scored twice against Chelsea, put up an incredible display in their wins over Manchester United and West Ham, and a starring role against Leeds.
