'Too good to loan out' - Arsenal fans show their excitement as Eddie Nketiah scores again

Arsenal youngster Eddie Nketiah is staking a place in Unai Emery's first team this season.

The 20-year-old has scored in the second consecutive game during pre-season by

That goal comes after the forward's winning strike against Bayern Munich on Thursday, a goal which gave the Gunners a 2-1 victory over the German giants.

He followed that strike up with a second goal to make it 2-0 in the second half.

While Arsenal are focusing their efforts on bringing new faces to the club, it seems that the solution could already be one of their players.

There has been rumours that Unai Emery will be looking to send the youngster out on loan this season in order to get playing time, but if his form in pre-season is anything to go by, then he may become a valuable member of the Spaniard's squad for the 2019/20 campaign.

His calm finish against Fiorentina showed maturity beyond his years, and proved that the step up to the first team may not be as big as first thought.

Nketiah scored one goal in five Premier League appearances last season, and will be hoping to improve them numbers for the upcoming campaign.

The forward is certainly going the right way about it during the International Champions Cup, and Arsenal fans are calling for the youngster to be given more game time this season.

Nketiah will have the chance to impress Emery and Arsenal fans again when the Gunners take on Real Madrid in their third and final International champions Cup match on Wednesday.
