Ian Wright shares how Eddie Nketiah move could come back to haunt Arsenal
Arsenal have had a busy summer on the transfer front, making a host of exciting signings and also offloading a number of players.
Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino, N🔯eto and Raheem Sterling have all joined the Gunners over the past few months.
In addition, several players who were in Arsenal’s first-team squad have since left, either permanen🌃t♕ly or on loan.
Eddie Nketiah is one such player, securing a permanꦆent move from the Emirates Stadium to Cryꦇstal Palace on transfer deadline day.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has now given his verdict on Nketiah’s move to the Gunners’ Loꦐndon rivals.
Ian Wright believes Eddie Nketiah will hope he can either get Crystal Palace into Europe or get himself on elite clubs’ radar
T🅺he Highbury icon, speaking on the , says he’s happy for Nketiah as he’s at an age now where he needs to be playing regularly.
Wright also feels the H﷽ale End graduate has made a “very,🐽 very good move” to Palace, where he has some superb teammates who can create chances for him.
In addition, the former Arsenal striker believes Nketiah wil🃏l be “banking on himself” to either get the Eagles into European contention or to go on the radar of the Premier League’s “bigger clubs”.
Wright said: “I am happy for him, because there’s a lot that he’s banking on himself, going and being a success to either get Palace in a situation where they can be challenging for Europe, or he gets himself 🔜in a position where he can🐈 start garnering attention from the bigger clubs for him.
“So one of those is probably his goal ♚and I hope it works out for him. He’s got people who can create for him.
“I just feel it’s a very, very good move for him and a move he had to make because he’s 25 now, he’s the perfect age🌳 for him to be playing week-in, week-out, get yourself in and around the England squad, score goals, get yourself in there, so as then you can start to show people exactly what you are capable of.”
Nketiah has what it takes to make Arsenal regret selling him
On the one hand, it’s a shame that a player who came🐽 through the academy and has been an Arsenal first-teamer for years has left.
On the other, Nketiah is an ‘unbelievable’ player – in Gabriel Jesus’ words – who is good enough to b🌳e starting regularly in the Premier Leagꦇue.
As Wright has said, he is at an age wher🐷e he needs to be playing regularly and really making 𒐪a name for himself.
Nketiah has shown he has what it takes to do a job at Arsenal, one of the🍒 best clubs in the Premier Le🌊ague.
He should do well at Palace, and Gunners fans will no doubt be checki🐟ng in now and then to see how he fares in red and blue.
Indeed, if Nketiah does really well, Arsenal could go on to regret selling him, especially if he does move to one of their title rivals in the 🌜coming years.
That said, Piers Morgan has already suggested that the Gunners’🎃 decision to sell Nketiah could hav🌱e risky repercussions this season.
