I WORKED with Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah when I was with the Under-18s and I was delighted to see him grab two goals in the Carabao Cup win over Norwich in midweek. Delighted but not surprised.
He is a great kid and was a pleasure to work with. He was always on time, listened hard and was a good worker, willing to learn and improve.
He will always score goals, even when he’s 60! He is just a killer in the box, as he showed against Norwich. He’s not a fancy player, all stepovers and drag backs, but is just lethal in front of goal. He doesn’t need many chances. He gives and moves, is quick, he is a fighter — but in the right way — and has an amazing leap on him, as we saw for his second goal at the Emirates. And he has just the right amount of confidence. If that guy plays, he scores. Simple. Of course, the hardest thing will be to get a chance at a big club like Arsenal — but he’s made the best possible start.
IT’S great to see Italian football on the up again.
