Leeds United fans have urged Marcelo Bielsa to finally put Eddie Nketiah into the starting line-up at Elland Road.
Amid fears that he may be recalled in January, Bielsa has reaffirmed his desire to keep hold of the striker, as reported by Adam Pope.
It had been suggested that the Gunners would recall the youngster if things didn’t improve, but Bielsa admitted he wants the player to stay until the end of the season and possibly into the next campaign too.
After hearing this from their manager, these Leeds fans have called on Bielsa to stick to his words.

Twitter: @apopey Yep sitting watching our matches doing wonders for his development, I like Bielsa but he talks some nonsense at times. (@mikewhorley)

Nketiah is only recently coming off the back of some injury problems, so it’s probably going to be a week or two before we see him back in a Leeds shirt.
However, once he is fully fit again, there is no more time to wait around for Bielsa.
He has confirmed that Leeds rate the player highly and want him to stay, so it’s time for them to deliver on their end of the deal.
They need to give him the necessary game time over the coming weeks or they risk losing him in the January window.
