Eddie Nketiah fires direct warning to World class Arsenal team-mate

Eddie Nketiah has warned Gabriel Jesus he cannot walk straight back into the ARSENAL team.

Jesus came off the bench to score his first goal of the season against Manchester United on Sunday after recovering from injury, and the Brazilian is keen to walk straight back into the starting eleven.

However, Nketiah has revealed he is ready to battle for his place in the starting line-up and has warned the Brazilian international that he will have to work hard to get his starting spot back.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID – 

“It’s nice to be competing with him (Jesus),” he told reporters at St. George’s Park. “It will only do good things for myself and for him.

“We both want to do the same thing and help the team. We push each other in training. It’s healthy and friendly competition. We have a good relationship and we support each other.”

Meanwhile, Former England defender Ledley King has tipped Nketiah to succeed Harry Kane as the Three Lions’ starting striker.

“Harry Kane is the captain so it’s nearly impossible to dislodge him but can you be the next one?” King told the BBC.

“Harry’s not old, he’s just in his 30s now, and maybe he’s someone who will drop into a 10 (position) eventually. Nketiah could be the next one to play up top.

“He’s different to some of the other strikers. He’s more cat-like. Ian Wright and Jermain Defoe are two he reminds me of, he’s very sharp in his movements.

“It will be interesting to see how his career develops over the next couple of years.”

It is nice to see that Nketiah feels confident enough to tell Jesus that wants that starting spot at ARSENAL, but when it comes down to it, Mikel Arteta knows that the Brazilian is his number one when fully fit.
