Arsenal: Merson says Gunners will finish in the top four if Nketiah stays 'consistent'

Paul Merson believes a 'consistent' Eddie Nketiah would ensure Arsenal finish in the top four and qualify for next season's Champions League.

The 22-year-old made just his second Premier League start this season and took full advantage of the rare opportunity.

He scored a brace in the 4-2 victory over Chelsea, putting himself in strong contention to start Saturday's clash against Manchester United.
