Eddie Nketiah deserves new Arsenal contract – Ex-Republic of Ireland forward Clinton Morrison

Former Republic of Ireland forward Clinton Morrison has disclosed that Ghana target Eddie Nketiah deserves a new Arsenal contract following his recent performances for the club.

Nketiah is out of contract in the summer and it is not clear if he will stay with the Gunners.

The 22-year-old scored twice in their 2-1 win over 10-man Leeds United in the English Premier League on Sunday, taking his goal tally to four in 18 league games this season.

“He is outstanding; for me personally, they gave Arteta a new contract, why not young Nketiah? He is only going to improve and there are going to be a lot of clubs looking at him,” Morrison said on the Football Daily show.

Nketiah has started the last five games for the Gunners after previously struggling for minutes under Arteta.

The highly-rated forward scored twice against Chelsea, put up an incredible display in their wins over Manchester United and West Ham, and a starring role against Leeds.
