'30 goal a season striker!' - Excited Arsenal and Leeds fans react to Eddie Nketiah's hat-trick

On a night where the England Under-21's are in action, Eddie Nketiah is doing what he does best.

Score goals.

The Arsenal wonderkid - on loan at Leeds United this season - netted a brace before half-time at the young Lions went in at the break with a comfortable 4-0 lead against Austria.

Having found starts in the Championship hard to come by at Elland Road, this should do his confidence the world of good and perhaps even send a message to Marcelo Bielsa.

There has been talk regarding Nketiah's short-term future of late.

However, as things stand at the moment, he won't be returning to the Emirates Stadium in January - nor will he be joining Bristol City on loan.

Football.london  understands from sources close to Nketiah that there have been no discussions between the player and two clubs over a potential mid-season recall.

Furthermore, that situation is not expected to be addressed until next month's international break.

Nketiah responded to rumours the only way he knows how to and that's by putting the ball in the back of the net, not once, but three times.

As expected, there has been a big reaction from Arsenal and Leeds fans on social media.

Take a look at the best responses to Nketiah's brace on Twitter...
