Ian Wright has commended Arsenal attacker Eddie Nketiah for his efforts away from the field.At Arsenal, Nketiah has ‘bulked up’.
The Arsenal icon also believes Eddie Nketiah has ‘bulked up’ this summer, which has helped him enhance his game, as he told Premier League Productions.With Gabriel Jesus’ return from injury, Nketiah has started three Premier League games, including the victory over Manchester United.While Nketiah has two goals, Jesus scored from the bench on Sunday, so it will be intriguing to watch what Arteta does next – it has been stated that Premier League clubs are now’scared’ of the Arsenal man.
In any case, Wright is thrilled with the 24-year-old’s progress since receiving his first England call-up.
“Mikel has a lot of faith in Nketiah,” Wright explained. “I believe Eddie is finally paying it off.” Capable of scoring in any situation.
“We know who he is, someone in the box who is extremely dangerous.” But you can see it, especially this summer. He has gained weight. He appears to be more focused. He is becoming more focused on what he is doing. His work outside the box has gotten better
Jesus used to play out wide for Manchester City and has demonstrated he can play in those places, but Arsenal have Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka running riot from the flanks.
As a result, both Jesus and Nketiah will have to compete for one position, and Arteta will have to make a crucial decision after the international break.
In reality, considering that Jesus is still working his way back to fitness, he may still start Nketiah, but the English star understands that when both are fit, it is Jesus who is number one.
