English-born Ghanaian international, Eddie Nketia has stressed that it is his aim to help Leeds United achieve promotion into the English Premier League at the end of the 2019/2020 season.
The young attacker completed his loan move to the Championship side from Arsenal on transfer deadline day.
Speaking in an interview with Leedsunited.com, Eddie Nketia shared, “It’s a great feeling to get it over the line and I’m really excited and looking forward to the future”.
“Hopefully I can develop how I want to develop and hopefully I can help the club reach its goals”.
He continued, “This club is such a big club, with a big history and the manager played a big part, I want to learn under him," he said.
“He has worked with such great players already and helped them develop in their careers”.
“I feel he is a very demanding coach and I am eager to learn and eager to improve, so I think we will get along well and hopefully it will be the best match and combination for Leeds and myself”.
The 20-year-old striker further shared that another key reason why he joined the Peacocks is because of the style of football instilled by head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
“I know you need to work hard to get to the top and I am here to work hard and do all I can to help the team and improve as a player.
“It’s been flattering to have a lot of interest, but Leeds, with the fan base from what I have seen on social media has been really welcoming.
“The style of play was also a big part in me coming here over other clubs, this is the play that I like and feel like I will suit.
“The methods of the manager are great and hopefully I can add my own spin and help take the club forward.”
