'He's going to be a goal machine all his career': Micheal Owen on Nketiah

Eddie Nketiah bagged a brace vs Albania as the young Three Lions finished their Euro-2020 qualifying campaign with a flourish - and Michael Owen was blown away by Nketiah's response to missing a pen earlier in the game.

"He’s very good," Owen told BT Sport. "He’s got a real smell for it, hasn’t he? He knows where the ball’s going to drop. I like his movement. I like his hunger to score goals.

"Some players are confidence players. If you miss a penalty and you’re a confidence player, you go missing all game. If you’ve just got pure self-belief, it just shrugs off you and you’re just onto the next one.

"With that type of attitude, with the way he plays, he’s just going to be a goal machine all his career. The key for him is obviously trying to get consistently into that Arsenal team, and then all his horizons are open."

When Eddie just broke through and scored a brace on his senior debut for Arsenal, our supporters most certainly agreed with Owen. To be fair, not a lot changed since then.

Nketiah looks a killer inside the box, we really can't recall him missing a clear-cut chance for Arsenal. He even ousted Alex Lacazette from the team at the end of last season.

It'll be interesting to see whether he can do it again. The Frenchman is not at his best right now, while Eddie is fresh and firing. Arteta needs to try something different after the break to get more out of his team and Nketiah looks one of the options.
