Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has heaped on Ghana target Eddie Nketiah after scoring in their 3-0 win over Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa League.
Nketiah followed up his winner against FC Zurich in their first group game by breaking the deadlock on Thursday night with an instinctive finish to set the Gunners on their way to victory, and maintain their 100 per cent start to the competition.
The 23-year-old lasted for 82 minutes before being replaced by Reiss Nelson at the Emirates stadium.
“I’m really happy. Today we played a different opponent, a difficult opponent, I mentioned that before and I think everybody saw that,” Arteta said as quoted by the club’s website.
“Eddie is always ready. Every time he plays you look at the numbers and the stats he produces, it’s phenomenal, and today he had a chance to play and I think he took it really well.”
Nketiah has made 10 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions this season and scored two goals in the process.
