England: Ghanaian prodigy Eddie Nketiah reveals Arsenal boss Unai Emery wanted to keep him at the club before his move to Leeds United on season long loan
Ghanaian prodigy Eddie Nketiah has revealed club boss Unai Emery wanted to keep him at the club for the 2019/20 premier league season
The youngster has scored three goals in his first five games for Leeds since completing a season-long loan on transfer deadline day
With both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette still at the club and the arrival of new summer signing Nicolas Pepe, the Arsenal boss was still keen on keeping Eddie Nketiah at the club
The 20-year-old, who netted a brace in England Under-21s’ 3-2 win over Turkey on Friday, said “The manager wanted me to stay so it’s really confidence-boosting for me that he had me in his plans
“But I felt like it was a good step for me to come to Leeds
“I hope it’s a good year that can leave me in good stead going back to Arsenal to fight for a place
“There were a lot of options, there were options for me to go to Germany but me, my family and the club decided Leeds was the best place”
The 20 year old has hailed the impact Arsenal legend Ian Wright is having on his career
He added “He’s been brilliant. He’s a bit of a mentor. He messages me, asks me how I am, how I’m finding things up in Leeds
“He’s given me advice and I always try to learn from him because he’s had a great career. I’m really grateful
“It’s a dream come true to have one of your heroes speaking to you. He’s such a nice guy and a modest guy for the career he’s had”

Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a totally
different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout
and design. Superb choice of colors! It’s appropriate
time to make some plans for the future and it is time
to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I desire
to suggest you few interesting things or advice. Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article.
I wish to read more things about it! Saved as a favorite, I

Ahaa, its pleasant conversation regarding this paragraph
at this place at this web site, I have read all that,
so at this time me also commenting here. I’ve been surfing on-line greater than three hours
as of late, yet I never found any interesting article like
yours. It’s pretty value sufficient for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers
made excellent content material as you probably did, the
internet will be much more useful than ever before.
I could not refrain from commenting. Perfectly written! http://house.com/
