Leeds United will lose Eddie Nketiah’s services for the second half of the campaign.
That’s according to the Daily Mail, who claim that Arsenal are ready to recall the young striker following his lack of game time at Elland Road.
Nketiah has started just twice all season and missed the majority of November due to an abdominal problem.
The report also adds that the Gunners could now line up a second loan move for Nketiah, who has scored five goals with the Whites.

Nketiah’s made 13 appearances under Marcelo Bielsa so far and is yet to start a Championship encounter, so it’s easy to see why the club want to recall him.
The 20-year-old is rated extremely highly at the Emirates and the thought of him warming the bench in Yorkshire for the second half of the campaign won’t sit well.
He was set to stick it out at Elland Road while Unai Emery was in charge in north London, with Emery and Leeds director Victor Orta good friends.
However, following the Spaniard’s dismissal, it appears as if officials have now taken matters into their own hands.
Bristol City have been strongly linked with the striker, and a new year move to Ashton Gate could well be on the cards if the Robins can guarantee regular game time.
