# Arsenal and Leeds fans praise Nketiah following brilliant training ground video

Fans of Arsenal and Leeds have continued to heap praise on Eddie Nketiah after the forward posted a glimpse into his England Under-21 training on social media.

The 20-year-old is yet to start in the Championship under Marcelo Bielsa and has played second fiddle to Patrick Bamford so far this season.

Nketiah has scored four goals in nine appearances for the Whites and shared his goal-scoring prowess in training with Aidy Boothroyd’s U21 side on social media.

His series of impressive finishes led to these Leeds fans replying to his post, with many urging Bielsa to start the striker against Birmingham City following the international break.

But should the youngster finally get his chance from the off in the second tier against Birmingham?

### Read Arsenal verdict

Current first-choice striker Bamford has impressed with his all-round play in recent weeks, however, he is struggling to find the back of the net.

Nketiah has proven in recent months that he’s more of a clinical finisher than Bamford, so the next Championship encounter would be the perfect time for the highly-rated Arsenal loanee to be handed a first start.

The fixture against Pep Clotet’s side will celebrate Leeds’ 100-year history, and if given the chance, Nketiah could further his popularity at Elland Road by marking the occasion with another goal.
