Eddie Nketiah has often earned praise for his attitude, even when he is not playing as often as he should at Arsenal.
The striker is a key player for the Gunners, but he is not the first choice and does not play when Gabriel Jesus is fit.
He has started this season as Arsenal’s main striker because the Brazilian has been injured for some time.
Mikel Arteta likes and trusts him, but even he understands why the manager cannot give him chances all the time, yet he keeps a great attitude and continues to work hard when chances come.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Nketiah said:
“I always try to train like a beast and give my all every time whether I’m playing or not.
“That’s the mentality I have. I train full gas because I think if you train well most of the time it reflects in the match. That’s the way I look at football and life.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Nketiah is one player who does not court controversy, making him likeable.
The striker needs goals in his next game. Otherwise, Arteta will not hesitate to bench him when Jesus becomes fit.
If he starts scoring, the Brazilian must work harder to win his place back in the team.

Like Nketiah’s High Pressing and Stamina Upfront.😊🙂
He has improved greatly and very Confident of his abilities.🙂
Unlike Martinelli who can’t dribble past any Premier league Right back, bar Trent-Arnold.😒
That Kid Frustrates the Hell outta me with his back passes.
Hasn’t Improved @all in TWO YEARS!😕
The young Englishman has established himself as a credible for the gaffer, it raises the question should Jesus keep his spot when he returns from injury.
Nketiah is ahead of Jesus in terms of being more clinical in front of goal, So it begs the question, why is he scoring more frequently?
The Englishman spends more of his time on between the goal posts in a concentrated area, where as Jesus operates in a broader space, The Brazilian tends to drop in midfield and out to the wings.
It is Nketiah fox in the box qualities that improve his goals over Jesus, He sniffs out the goals and knows just where to be at the right time.
Did you watch him against palace? I think you guys get what you deserve.
He was a menace dawg he even won us a penalty with his deadly run.could’ve converted his first chance if he was able to curl past the keeper which would’ve safely rolled into the net rather than hit the post, an aspect i think he should work on to be the top striker he deserves to be given his dedication and work rate.every other thing about him is OK for me.
He seems to up his game this time around, there seems to be a little hungriness about him 👍🏻
Players like Eddie are well liked at clubs,
They give everything when played and keep their gob shut and realise what great club their at and what good wages,
Even though Eddie not first choice he will be in volved in a lot of games and will get into double figures,
To be a striker I think everybody know the meaning. You cannot stay so many games without scoring and your still hyped. nketiah is not worth to play for arsenal. I think even pepe is better than him. Let nketiah go to Saudi Arabia or China. we want I striker who help the team.
Nketiah Should be are ahead of Jesus, all what he [Nketiah] is sharpens his accuracy in front of goal. Wish him the best in Arsenal/Fulham match.
Just work on your curled efforts eddie and see yourself taking the world by storm.COYG!!!
He should have had two goals against Palace there was only the goalkeeper to beat twice. He needs to be putting those chances away if he’s to wear the famous colors. Our goal output and our assist output suffer when these chances go begging. He got the penno fair play so that redeems him slightly If he can score against Fulham then he’s on the path to becoming a one-goal-in-two-games striker
