Hay believes Nketiah is frustrated at Leeds

Eddie Nketiah looks increasingly likely to leave Leeds United during the January transfer window.

Speaking on The Phil Hay show, the Athletic’s Leeds United reporter claims that those around the striker believe he’s becoming frustrated by the lack of game time he is getting at Elland Road.

Nketiah’s future at Leeds has been one of the big debates ahead of the January window, with Bristol City believed to be watching on in case he is recalled by Arsenal.

On paper, Leeds looks like the perfect place for Nketiah. He is working under a world-class manager at a great club who have ambitions to get into the Premier League.

Elland Road is a fantastic place to play football and Nketiah will have no doubt learnt a lot from playing for a club of that stature.

However, Arsenal have to put his development first. At his age, he needs to be playing every week and getting regular first-team minutes under his belt. This hasn’t happened yet this season and the Gunners have the chance to rectify that in January.
