Arsenal boss Arteta ready to back Nketiah over new No9

Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah's status as a senior player is no longer in question this season.

The centre forward has always felt like the odd one out at the club, despite coming through the academy.

Nketiah was seen as one who may be sold either of the past two summers to raise funds for other targets.

However, The Athletic states that Nketiah has very much won over manager Mikel Arteta.

He has impressed enough that Arteta may not even look to sign a new striker in January.

The club have been linked to Ivan Toney of Brentford, who may cost up to £100 million.
