Arteta Takes Final Decision On Arsenal Striker’s Departure
Arsenal head coach, Mikel Arteta, has decided to keep Eddie Nketiah for the rest of the season, despite several loan offers from the Championship, Goal reports.
Nketiha scored five goals in 19 appearances while on loan with Leeds in the first half of the season.
