Marcelo Bielsa has opened up on what Eddie Nketiah will gain from his loan spell at Leeds United, having joined the Whites in the summer from Arsenal.
The 20-year-old joined the Whites on a season-long deal in August, with the Elland Road club securing the services of the England youth international ahead of several other clubs.
But despite the youngster's impressive goalscoring form for both club and country this season, he is yet to start a Championship game for Bielsa's side, which has resulted in speculation that the Gunners could recall their man in January.
And Bielsa, who was involved in a long exchange with journalists at his weekly press conference on Thursday afternoon over his use of the on-loan Arsenal man, has explained why the forward will learn from his time with his side.
"[Eddie] Nketiah has developed at one club, Arsenal, and has to play at Leeds," the Argentine said, as per Leeds Live.
"I am not comparing the level of both. But you can see clearly the performance in one team or the other team. We don’t have the players who win the match themselves.
"Big teams, like Arsenal, they have a lot of players that can win one match with one play. This is natural Nketiah has developed in this school.
"And he has all the resources, skills, to resolve the needs of scoring one goal. But we need to build the chance at goal. And we cannot build the chances if we don’t have a structure within all the players to create the chances.
"You will see that every time is going to be less difficult to Eddie to be more similar to give this contribution to the team. When he in the last match went to the pitch at Preston, the match was played in the place of the pitch where he plays better, by the box.
"Against Birmingham he was far from the box and without offensive creation.
"And against Birmingham he didn’t have a good match, against Preston he had an impact. To finish this explanation, the most important, what he does when we have to score. Nketiah is very good at scoring. Also [Patrick] Bamford.
"But Bamford is missing chances and Nketiah is scoring.
"But there is a fact before you score a goal, you build the situation that allow the chance to score."
