Arsenal manager Arteta not putting any pressure on Nketiah over contract extension

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is not putting any pressure on Eddie Nketiah to sign a new contract with the club.

Nketiah, out of contract this summer, scored a brace in the 2-1 win over Leeds United at the Emirates on Sunday.

Asked if there was a contract offer for the 22-year-old, Arteta said: "Eddie is doing what he has done all season.

"He has been very consistent with his performance and how little he is giving away.

"Let him be. Let him enjoy the moment because he completely deserves it and things will happen naturally."

Crystal Palace are believed to be the frontrunners to sign Nketiah once his contract with Arsenal expires.
