The Nation Newspaper Eddie Nketiah: Playing as striker in Arsenal is tough
bubble is that they need a striker, a classic No 9 capable of scoring 20 goals a season. The January transfer window was rife with speculation to that effect, but it came and went without a high-profile signing arriving at the Emirates. Whether Mikel Arteta’s side will have the firepower to sustain their Premier League title challenge and European aspirations remains one of the key questions hanging over the remainder of the season.
Arsenal have scored 70 league goals this season, five more than Sunday’s opponents Manchester City – a clash that could be pivotal in deciding the destination of the trophy. Alongside their attacking prowess, the lessons learned from the last campaign have been crucial to this title charge. If Arsenal are to claim their first league title since 2004, their ability at set pieces will play a major role. Not too long ago, the idea of a ‘set-piece coach’ was ridiculed. Not anymore. Nicolas Jover has worked wonders for the north London club, turning them into one of the league’s best. Nketiah attributes their success to the squad recognising the benefits of dead-ball opportunities.
“Everyone was disappointed,” Nketiah concedes about the team morale. “You want to be winning matches and competing for things throughout the season so we were disappointed with the results but it was a really good time to get back together, focus on things, have a good time training and I think it’s done us well.
