Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta spoke about Eddie Nketiah’s new contract.
“I’m delighted Eddie is staying with us,” Arteta said. “He represents what we are all about and all the values of the club. We are very happy that he has extended his contract and now we have to get to work and continue to develop the great talent and person that we have in him.”
“The foundations of this squad are built on young talent and in particular those who have come through our Academy system,” Edu added.
“Eddie was released by another club as a young man but has always shown he has the attitude as well as the ability to become a top player. The fact he’s signed a new contract is an important part of our squad planning for next season and we’re all delighted.”
