Arsenal told to not make the same Aubameyang mistake

Eddie Nketiah is expected to leave the Emirates in the summer.

The 22-year-old striker has been in phenomenal form this season and has scored a brace against Leeds United over the weekend.

He has scored four goals in his last four league games and quickly replaced Alexandre Lacazette in the striking role.

His contract expires in the summer and the youngster would sign a new deal only if he’s guaranteed a regular starting role.

Even manager Mikel Arteta wants Nketiah to stay but can’t fulfill the player’s current demands.

Former Spurs striker Garth Crooks believes Nketiah will be a perfect long-term replacement to Aubameyang.

“It looks like Arsenal have finally found a striker to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang,” Crooks said.

“I find it extraordinary that a 22-year-old English forward, who finds himself at a club like Arsenal and playing the football of his life, hasn’t had his future nailed down by the club.

“He clearly has all the attributes that make a top player. Even if Arsenal were to buy a renowned goal scorer they would be crazy to let Nketiah go.”
