Eddie Nketiah was persuaded to stay at Arsenal by Unai Emery and his chief of staffs but prospective of playing regular minutes and prove his place at N5 saw him move to Yorkshire where he would gain considerable experience under Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United.
But Bielsa has laid his trust in Patrick Bamford and has been hesitant to use Eddie regularly, much to the annoyance of Leeds as well as Arsenal supporters.
England Under-21 prospect has managed to net five goals in twelve outings for The Whites, but the twelve times he donned Leeds badge has come on minutes constraint as Nketiah has only managed 430 minutes on aggregate – with an average of thirty-five for each appearance.
