Mikel Arteta has opened up on Eddie Nketiah, claiming the Arsenal attacker is now ready to "explode" at the club.
Gunners' star Gabriel Jesus will be out of action for at least three months. This fact raises Nketiah's chances of pushing himself to the first-team squad and playing a key role in the upcoming clashes.
“Eddie is always ready," Arteta told Football.London when speaking about the youngster following Arsenal's friendly game with Juventus.
"He knows that it opens up a big opportunity for him right now and he needs to grab it, but the way that he trains every day and the mentality he has, he gives us no reason to believe that he won’t be super ready to perform.”
