Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah ‘too embarrassed to celebrate’ after Leeds keeper howler

A brace in the 4-2 win over Chelsea in April was particularly important, giving Arsenal a boost in their hopes of finishing in the top four. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp believes he offers the North Londoners a different skillset to Lacazette.

“We said last week (after Arsenal beat West Ham), he gives you an outlet and different dimension,” Redknapp said. “When you get the ball into feet from someone like Lacazaette, that’s fine.

“When you’re playing in certain games, you have to stretch teams and be difficult to beat. He’s been given an opportunity with Lacazette not scoring and he’s certainly made a difference. I’ve been very impressed with him. Scoring goals and giving that real belief and confidence.”

Nketiah’s contract expires in the summer and he is understood to want more game time. Crystal Palace and Brighton are two of the clubs who have been linked with the starlet.
