Arsenal striker Nketiah: Arteta told me 'I believe in you'

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah appreciates the support of manager Mikel Arteta.

Nketiah has impressed as cover for Gabriel Jesus.

And he told The Times: "It has been good under Mikel, it has been stable. From the first day he came in, he said: 'I believe in you and I will give you chances'. He has done it, and I have developed so much thanks to him.

"When you score a lot of goals as a youth player, that's all people see, the numbers. I am 23 years old and humble enough to accept that I am not a finished football player.

"I'm at a level where I can affect games in the Premier League, and that's what's exciting - because I know there's still a lot of ways I can improve."
