Impact Nketiah has started in all six UEL matches and scored twice in that competition but has made 12 EPL appearances, all coming as a substitute. So long as Gabriel Jesus is fit and Reiss Nelson is productive from the bench, Nketiah might have a tough time getting major minutes on the front line.

Signs new Arsenal contract Nketiah has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal.
Impact This seemed inevitable for Nketiah after he ended the season as the team's top striker, starting the final eight matches up front. The question is who else will Arsenal add in the window because there have been rumors about Gabriel Jesus and if that happens, Nketiah may again be asked to play more of a supplemental role. No matter, he got a new contract and has bigger things in sight.

Brace in win Nketiah scored twice on five shots (two on goal) during Wednesday's 4-2 win over Chelsea.

That said once Alexandre Lacazette is back Nketiah will be straight back on the bench most likely.
