Arsenal have given Eddie Nketiah the number 14 jersey after he extended his contract with the club and fans cannot contain their excitement.The striker, whose contract was up this month and was initially tipped to leave on a free transfer, signed a new five-year deal with the Gunners, turning down proposals from some Bundesliga and Premier League clubs.Nketiah made a big impact towards the end of their 2021-22 season, scoring five goals in seven games as he made the most of his first-team opportunities.There were questions over his future, though, as Arteta wasn't ready to guarantee the 23-year-old regular playing time that he sought.Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomanoOfficial, confirmed.
