If Auba is still starting on the left it‘a got to be Eddie through the middle against City.
Fwiw, KT at LB with Bellerin at RB and AMN in the middle....

I think so too, but don't think that will happen.If Auba is still starting on the left it‘a got to be Eddie through the middle against City.
Should look good in 3/4 years when he's at Lokamotive FC.

Arteta will likely go for experience
And you’ll still be a midget in 3/4 years.Should look good in 3/4 years when he's at Lokamotive FC.

I doubt it. Arteta has showed a lot of faith in Eddie. He had him start a central striker ahead of the fans favourites Aubameyang and Martinell. Ahead of an more experienced Lacazette. For me the sample size is still too small to know what type of player he is going to be. But one thing for sure he is a better backup striker than what we have had in the past, Welbeck, Chamak and Yaya Sanogo.I think so too, but don't think that will happen.

He started in 3 of our last 4 premier league games. Against Everton, Newcastle and West ham. He came as sub against Burnley. Are you saying of those 4, Burnley was our only Big game?He didn't Start Eddie in any of our big games
Are they similar in playing style? I know the boy is deceptively strong. But he doesn't strike me as very quick. I have never seen him score from outside the 18 area yet.Getting Ian Wright vibes.

Eddie is very quick, especially over short spaces. It's one of those things that people for some reason haven't picked up on but he can leave defenders for dead and I've seen him do it a lot.Are they similar in playing style?

Quite informative. I have noticed his hold up play is decent for one so young and not as big. Stylistically, who is he close to?Eddie is very quick, especially over short spaces.

He doesn't score many from outside the box but that's mainly because he often doesn't shoot from that far out. He has scored a few outside the box and come close with other attempts. There's a couple in this vid from a few years back.
EDIT:
Wanted to add another older video from the following season that shows more of his all-round play so you can see what type of striker he is. The idea that he's just a poacher is false and I've been saying this for the longest - there's far more to his game than just goals, but at this stage of his career, it is a good thing for him to also be getting goals and relying on his goalscoring instincts while he builds up the rest of his game in top flight football. So far, he has improved in his ball-retention and ability to link up with surrounding attackers, and he's a capable dribbler aswell. I think Nketiah has been perpetually underrated throughout his fledgeling career, in terms of his ability, potential and even style of play, but I'm firm in my belief that he will continue to prove many wrong.
Jermain Defoe was a very clean striker of the ball and he did not score many headers. Nketiah doesn't pack a powerful shot. Jermaine Defoe had zero hold up play, but we have seen that Nketiah is quite capable in that regard. Jermaine rarely passed when anywhere near the 18 area.Nketiah playing style is similar to Jermaine Defoe - but I think he is much quicker.
Tough to say personally. When I first saw him, a more stripped down Eto'o came to mind. Don't think Defoe is too far off - Nketiah definitely has that selfish streak that Defore was famed for, but I think his gameplay is more self-effacing than Defoe and he does a lot of very good work outside the box. Both similar finishers though, capable of striking powerfully as well as deftly at their most confident.Quite informative. I have noticed his hold up play is decent for one so young and not as big.
