'Eddie is very humble but has a big hunger'

Mikel Arteta has praised the "humble" Eddie Nketiah after he delivered another goalscoring display as we beat Leeds on Tuesday night.

It was the striker's seventh goal in eight Carabao Cup matches for both us and - coincidentally - Leeds, and helped us claim a 2-0 win.

"He's been scoring goals every time we use him," Arteta said.

"His attitude has been top drawer. Again, he hasn't had many minutes. He's a very humble person but has a big hunger inside himself and I'm delighted for him."

Arteta also reserved special praise for Calum Chambers, after he stepped off the bench and scored within 23 seconds.
