Paul Merson is panicking. He thinks Arsenal could finish outside the top four with Eddie Nketiah leading the line. 'What Premier League team does Eddie Nketiah get in? 'Wolves are bottom... and they wouldn’t go and get him.' AFC
‘It’s a panic’ – Arsenal top-four finish would ‘shock’ pundit should Arteta persist with NketiahPaul Merson is fearing for Premier League leaders Arsenal’s top-four credentials with Eddie Nketiah in line to come in for the injured Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazilian has chipped in with a few goals, but it is his overall play that has really influenced Mikel Arteta’s side. Nketiah – who signed a huge long-term contract in the summer – is expected to start for Arsenal against West Ham on Boxing Day.He is actually so far off that level that former Arsenal midfielder Merson thinks the Gunners could finish outside the Champions League places if Arteta does not bring in a new forward in January.
“I try not to read too much into friendlies but it’s a massive worry for Arsenal that they’re now relying on out-of-form Eddie Nketiah when the Premier League returns,”“They could go eight points clear if they beat West Ham before Manchester City play a game and you still wouldn’t fancy them to win the title without Gabriel Jesus.
“Jesus has just been too influential in the first few months of the season, I just don’t see how they get by without him.
