Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah prepared to leave

Eddie Nketiah is unfazed about where he will play this season.

With Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of him on the depth chart, Arsenal are considering loaning the 20-year-old despite his impressive form this preseason.

Nketiah almost joined RB Leipzig in January and says he's prepared to leave the Emirates for first-team football.

He said: "There was talk of that [going out on loan] and it was close to happening in January but the club decided that I should stay and I tried to finish the season as strongly as possible.

"We'll see what happens in the future but I'm just enjoying the tour and in the future decisions will be made.

"I need to keep pushing, keep working and as for the season I want to be playing regularly. After the pre-season tour, it's something that I'll look at with my family and speak to the manager and see what's best for me."
