Liverpool Legend Urges Eddie Nketiah to Leave Arsenal This Summer

• Jamie Carragher has asked Eddie Nketiah to leave Arsenal in the summer to achieve his target of being a first-choice forward
• The 22-year-old has scored four goals in his last four Premier League games but his contract running out in the summer
• Nketiah has been on the radar of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), with the Association pushing for him to switch nationality

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has advised Eddie Nketiah to leave Arsenal if he wants to become a first-choice striker.

Nketiah scored two goals in the first half for Arsenal as they recorded a 2-1 victory over relegation-threatened side Leeds United.

The 22-year-old struggled to nail down a first-team place at Arsenal until recently when Mikel Arteta drafted him into his starting line-up.

Nketiah has started Arsenal’s last four Premier League victories, scoring four goals in the process which will have caught the eye of potential suitors.

With his contract running out this summer, Arteta is eager to keep the English-born of Ghanaian descent in his squad for many more years.

However, former Liverpool defender Carragher has urged the striker to move on if he wants to become the main man.

Speaking on Sky Sports, quoted by Metro Sports, the Champions League winner said:

‘Yes (Arsenal should try to keep him) but I don’t think he’ll ever end up first-choice striker, so I think it would be better for him to move on.’
