'He's the new Ole Gunnar Solskaer!' Arsenal fans rave about Leeds United supersub Eddie Nketiah

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has only been on loan at Leeds United for just over a month, but he's already making a big impression in the Championship.

The 20-year-old has made three starts and three substitute appearances and scored four goals for his new team, and also scored twice for England Under-21s in a 3-2 win over Turkey during the international break.

Nketiah has made sure to keep himself in the headlines despite starting the Championship clash against Burnley on the bench, with a game-changing cameo at Oakwell..

Nketiah came on with 20 minutes remaining and the scores tied at 0-0. With just over five minutes remaining, he latched onto Kalvin Phillips' deep cross to calmly put the visitors ahead.

And shortly before full-time, he was hawled down by Aapo Halme to win a penalty for Marcelo Bielsa's side, which was converted by Mateusz Klich to secure all three points.

Nketiah keeps going from strength to strength after deciding to leave north London on a short-term deal, despite Unai Emery wanting him to stay this season.

His appearance from the bench has Leeds fans calling for him to start regularly at Elland Road, while some Arsenal supporters are wondering why the club let him go on loan in the first place.
