According to The Sun, the English forward Eddie Nketiah, who has featured in 23 games for the club in various competitions this season, is set to stay at Arsenal during the upcoming January transfer window. Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, considers him a crucial part of the team and has decided against selling or loaning him out.

Arteta emphasized the player’s goal-scoring ability and highlighted his impressive track record over the last decade, expressing confidence that with more game time and support, the forward will continue to find the net. Despite potential interest from Premier League teams like Brentford and Crystal Palace in the player, and Arsenal’s own rumored interest in Brentford’s Ivan Toney, the club is firm on retaining their 24-year-old forward, especially if they secure Toney’s services.

The decision to keep the player at Arsenal stems from the club’s ambition to maintain a robust squad, even in the event of potential new signings, in their pursuit of the Premier League title in the latter half of the season. Arsenal, currently leading the league, recently secured a 1-1 draw against Liverpool and are preparing for their upcoming Premier League match against West Ham after the Christmas break.
