According to sources, once the 25-year-old joins the Eagles, another forward will leave Selhurst Park Stadium. Namely, Odsonne Edouard will reportedly return to the team from which he arrived in London – the Scottish side Celtic.Troubles in Arteta’s paradise?Nketiah’s goal in the 90th minute to finish off Man United will always be an unforgettable memory in the hearts of us GunnersA man who always tries his best and always fights for the team.

However, he mostly came in as a sub, while most of his starts came in the EFL Cup and FA Cup. As for his Premier League records, his hat-trick against Sheffield United last October or a 90th-minute winner against Man United from January 2023 will remain one of the most notable moments of his spell with the Gunners.1- Eddie Nketiah has scored his first Premier League hat-trick, and is the first Englishman to do so in the competition for Arsenal since Theo Walcott against West Brom in May 2015.

Even with the reduced playing time, he managed to net six times. However, the end of the previous season was a bumpy ride for the forward, given that he spent the ultimate six Premier League rounds on the bench as well as the opening two matches of the new season. Moreover, Nketiah played his last minutes in the top flight on April 14 in Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat by Aston Villa at home turf, when he entered the game in the 87th minute.##NAJAVA_MECA_8298070##
