According to The Athletic’s journalist and Leeds United expert Phil Hay, Arsenal are relaxed about Eddie Nketiah’s current situation at Elland Road, but they did not expect him to be waiting for his first league start so far into the season. The England under-21 international has come off the bench on nine ocassions in the Championship for the Whites, with his only two starts coming in the League Cup. Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa continues to prefer Patrick Bamford ahead of Nketiah, and yesterday’s heroics isn’t likely to change his name. The 20-year-old played the last 13 minutes of last night’s clash against Preston North End, helping to draw his side level three minutes from time.
