He scored two braces in his last four appearances, including an early double against Leeds United last weekend. Speaking to English media, he said he’s only focusing on this season as the Gunners aim to claim one of the Champions League places for next season.”There have been offers of a new contract but at the moment my aim is to play football and play regularly. That’s my ambition and that’s what I hope to do but at the same time I’m at Arsenal, I love Arsenal. Any player just wants to be playing and get the opportunities. I’ve worked hard throughout the season to ensure that I was ready when I get my chance and credit my teammates for helping me play and do well.”Tuesday, 22.00: (7.25) Aston Villa (4.40) Liverpool (1.45)The Ghana Football Association have been working assiduously to finalize the national switch of several other players, including Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi as well as Tariq Lamptey of Brighton & Hove Albion.
