Arsenal Striker open to signing new contract but on one condition
According to a recent report, Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah is willing to sign a new contract with one condition.
The Gunners centre-forward is understood to want assurances about more playing time in the future if the North London club is to tie him down to a new contract.
The London-born talent has played only in sporadic appearances for Arsenal this season, but he deserves credit for his impressive performances in domestic football.
The 22-year-old has two goals in two League Cup appearances for the Gunners this season.
Nketiah has drawn attention in the EFL Cup by averaging 4.0 shots, 0.5 crosses, and 1.0 dribbles per 90 minutes. Based on his pass completion rate of 80.8 percent in that competition, he has even taken care of the ball when distributing it in the final third (stats via whoscored).
The English forward’s current contract with the Gunners is set to expire at the end of the season, so Mikel Arteta will be working against the clock to secure him a new deal.
Nketiah’s quickness and agility allow him to make some driving runs with the ball in the attacking end of the field.
He frequently outjumps opposing defenders to win crucial headers for his team. Furthermore, the English marksman can make some good openings for himself to get a few shots in on target.
The Arsenal outcast prefers to play as a central striker, but he can also play as a winger on either flank if necessary. As a result, Mikel Arteta would be wise to re-sign him and use him as a rotational player in the coming seasons.
Alexandre Lacazette, who has just over six months left on his contract at the Emirates Stadium, would be an ideal replacement for Nketiah.
As a result, the Gunners manager should do everything in his power to persuade the English attacker to commit his future to the North London club in the not-too-distant future.
