Arsenal manager Unai Emery has insisted that Eddie Nketiah will not be sent on loan this season. The Gunners gaffer is willing to give the youngster a chance to earn a bigger role at the Emirates.
Nketiah has been one of the standout performers for Arsenal in their pre-season games, having scored 3 goals in 3 games.
“Last year in small moments when we could give him chances to be on the pitch he did very well. His progress can confirm, we want to progress with every player,” Emery said.
“He has a very good attitude and they need experience, minutes and confidence. The young energy is very important.
“Nketiah was playing very well. Last year, in December we were thinking of loaning or not loaning the player to Germany and we decided he should stay with us to train and progress with us.
“We started this preseason with the same idea as we finished last year. He’ll stay with us and my idea is that if you progress like we are seeing from you, you can have a chance with us.”
