Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has admitted that Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has been the player that has surprised him the most this season.
The striker struggled to play before the World Cup as the Gunners relied on Gabriel Jesus as their main goalscorer.
However, the Brazilian was injured during the competition and has not played for the Gunners since then.
Several fans and pundits expected Arsenal to buy a new striker in January and doubted if Nketiah could step up in the place of the former Manchester City star.
The Englishman has done brilliantly and Neville admits he has been surprised by the striker.
When asked which player has surprised him the most this season, he said on The Overlap
“I’m going to go with Nketiah. I thought that when Jesus got injured it could be a problem, but I think he’s played really well for Arsenal.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Nketiah’s solid performances in the last few weeks have surprised most of us as he seeks to ensure we do not miss Jesus.
When the Brazilian returns from injury, he may have to settle for a place on the bench because Nketiah has earned the right to continue starting matches for us for now.

Have a read of this folks:

It tells us (at least) two things:
1. Gary Neville doesn’t know much about football.
2. Owners can be really, really, really bad.
Lim owns Valencia only as a networking opportunity.
Neville was his “worst managerial appointment” in a revolving door that’s seen a lot of managers come and go.
And I suppose it tells us something else – all this money in football is bad for the game. When people like Lim can buy then abandon a club it adds another problem to the pile.
Anyone for real football, where clubs are owned by… well, themselves (like it used to be)?
Well, I have to admit that since Nkethia came on for the injured Gabriel Jesus to replace him as the current Arsenal centreforward. He is looking to be playing brilliantly since then for Arsenal. M,ore especiall in the Epl where he has so far scored I think 4 goals for Arsenal this season.
However, Nkethia currently being the only out and out centreforward in the Arsenal’s Epl team. Is hereby charged me a Gooner and I believe by othricized Gooners too, to drastically improved on his irregular and average goals scoring take to a regular and high goals scoring takes for Arsenal. More especially as the run-in games in season has begun last week as it’s concerned Arsenal.
At the Emirates Stadium against newcaste in the semi-big game. Nkethia failed to hit the back of the net for Arsenal as the Gunners played to a godless draw in the match against the Magipies.
Away to Man City in the Arsenal’s last FA Cup. And at Everton last Saturday in the Epl. Nkethia failed to register any goal on the score sheet for Arsenal in the last 2 Arsenal’s matches. As the Gunners lost both matches by a solitary 1 goal scored against them in each of the 2 matches.
Therefore. As a matter of urgent change for the better. And as from Arsenal Epl home match against Brentford this Saturday. Nkethia has for the sake of to up lift Arsenal in their game against Brentford eschew any kind of profigancy in front of the Brentford goalmouth to score goals for Arsenal in the match. And score them while in the sa,me vain, provide some assists in the match for his Gunners team mates to score. Helping Arsenal to bounce back winning the match after the successive last 2 match defeats suffered to us.

Striker Nketiah has more to offer. The Ghanian is still risk-averse and has only played for Arsenal with his intelligence. He could be a tiger and nightmare for opposition defenders if he’s convinced of Club’s belief in him.
We’re the Arsenal 💪💪💪💪💃🤸, just keep on being surprised as we launch Topedos
Neville rarely gets it right, but on this occasion, he has.Nketiah is doing very well indeed.
