EPL: I have no problem with Nketiah, says Arsenal boss Arteta

Date:

Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta, has no problem with Eddie Nketiah being upset with his lack of minutes.

Arteta is happy knowing Nketia is determined his situation.

He said, “He is right to be upset. This is what we want from the players that haven’t had the minutes. Especially Eddie, because if there is a player in the dressing room that deserves more chances, that is for sure Eddie.

“It’s not about pressure to play him, it’s about trying to put a team there that can win football matches, and you believe that has the best possible chance to win it. Then just pick the players, regardless of the situation.

“We could have gone for a completely different approach and played him even less or don’t give him any opportunities, or don’t put him in the squad. We have to treat every player with the duty that we have. They are our players, we want to get the best out of them. With Eddie I said many times as well how much I rate him. That the fact that we have big plans for him at this club for the future, and this is where we are today and we have to accept that reality.”
