Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has praised Eddie Nketiah on Instagram for his goal and performance against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal got the better of Nottingham Forest 2-1 at home in the Premier League.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 26th minute.
The 24-year-old striker started the match for Arsenal.
Declan Rice praises Arsenal teammate Eddie Nketiah
Nketiah got his chance due to the injury to Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazil international striker is on the sidelines at the moment.
And Nketiah made the most of the opportunity.
Rice was impressed by Nketiah, as you can see from his Instagram post below.
The England international midfielder joined Arsenal from London and Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
Nketiah is a very good striker.
The Arsenal striker is brilliant in and around the penalty box.
Gabriel Jesus is the first-choice striker at Arsenal, and when the Brazil international is fully fit, he will slot into the starting lineup.
Nketiah, though, showed on Saturday that he is a player Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta can rely upon.
Arsenal will need the 24-year-old this season.
Nketiah does play better and scores when he starts, and perhaps Arteta should include him in the starting lineup more regularly.
Arsenal are aiming to win the Premier League title this season as well as make an impact in the UEFA Champions League.
