Keown convinced Nketiah has big Arsenal future

Arsenal legend Martin Keown believes Eddie Nketiah has a big future at the club.

The 20-year-old forward scored on his Arsenal return in Monday's 2-1 win over Bournemouth, following his loan spell with Leeds.

And Keown thinks new manager Mikel Arteta will benefit Nketiah's development.

“It is very obvious that Arteta is giving them freedom to play, giving them opportunities," Keown told BT Sport.

“This young man is coming back from Leeds where he scored seven (five) goals. He's a really good mover off the ball, good movement. He's scored goals for England under-21s.

“He's got a massive future and they're getting chances now under Arteta. He's going with the youth and there's an energy to this Arsenal team now."
