Report: Aston Villa join the race to sign Eddie Nketiah on loan from Arsenal

According to reports from The Bristol Post, Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Arsenal’s highly-rated young striker Eddie Nketiah on loan.

Nketiah spent the first half of the season on loan at Leeds United. The youngster didn’t get enough games for the Whites but he did impress every time he took the field.

His loan was cut short in January and has since returned to Arsenal. The Gunners are looking to send him out on loan yet again.
