​West Ham blow as Arsenal boss Arteta gives blunt response over Nketiah future

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken about the future of youngster Eddie Nketiah.

The striker has been linked with a move away in January, with West Ham United interested.

However, the 21-year-old appears to be sticking around for the rest of this season.

He only has 18 months left on his deal, but Arsenal are happy to keep him in the squad until the summer at the very least.

When asked about Nketiah possibly going on loan, Arteta replied to reporters: "No."

West Ham and other clubs will have to look elsewhere to find a striker on loan, as the Gunners look set to hold onto Nketiah.
