Leeds United have secured the services of Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah for the upcoming campaign.
The Whites’ Director of Football, Victor Orta, persuaded Gunners officials at the last minute to send the 20-year-old to Yorkshire, despite concrete interest from both Bristol City and Fortuna Düsseldorf.

The forward, who scored his first Premier League goal at the end of last season, is highly-rated by everyone associated with Arsenal, and he’ll now have the chance to gain regular first-team experience in the second-tier in an attempt to fire Leeds back into the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa.
Nketiah featured heavily under Unai Emery in pre-season, scoring in the wins over Bayern Munich and Fiorentina, with many tipping the forward to play a role in the first-team in the upcoming campaign.
However, it will be with Leeds where he will ply his trade, so we’ve decided to take a closer look at four winners and four losers as a result of the completed move.
