The 20-year-old Eddie Nketiah who was wanted by more than 20 sides over the summer, has scored four times in six Whites appearances, averaging a goal every 62 minutes under Marcelo Bielsa. In fact he has excelled in his first month with Leeds United
With many comparing him to Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, Nketiah, who is known for scoring on his debuts in various competitions, has now been at the centre of a debate on Twitter.
The Arsenal man’s next two years are vital in regards to his development with Nketiah 19 months younger than Rashford.
What will more than likely lead to regular first-team football under Unai Emery next season and strengthen his case to be ranked alongside Rashford is if he can help Leeds back into the Premier League this season by continuing his impressive goalscoring form.
Tammy Abraham has shown that an impressive season on loan in the second tier can reap its rewards, and if Nketiah can follow suit, they’ll definitely be more conversations regarding himself and the Manchester United man.
