Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, has honored Eddie Nketiah.
The striker’s 100th game for the team will come on Saturday when they play at Newcastle.
After Nketiah defeated Sheffield United last week with a hat-trick, Arteta declared, “He has earned that right [to play 100 times].”
We made an effort to convey to him his position on the team and the options available to him based on his performance, just like we would any other player.
“The fact he has played that many games is because of his own performances, and the reasons he is giving us to trust him.”
