Eddie Nketiah pledges to repay his faith to Mikel Arteta

Eddie Nketiah promises to help the squad win something special.

The Arsenal academy graduate has signed a long-term deal with the Gunners and has been handed the iconic No.14 shirt.

Last season, he started the final eight games in the Premier League despite his struggle for regular minutes.

With Lacazette and Aubameyang out, Nektiah is expected to take a more central role.

“I am just happy to finally get over the line, it has been a while pending. I am happy to be here and looking forward to the new season,” Nketiah said in his interview.

“I have been at Arsenal most of my career, so you just have to consider the next steps and what they looked like.

“When the time was right and, I spoke to the manager, it was kind of an easy decision at the end I knew where my heart was all along.

“You want to have the backing of the manager and the players to go out there and do it again.

“It was an important run for us as well so to have that trust during that time and to also kind of repay him back with good performances and goals was amazing.”
