Signs new Arsenal contract Nketiah has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal.

Impact This seemed inevitable for Nketiah after he ended the season as the team's top striker, starting the final eight matches up front. The question is who else will Arsenal add in the window because there have been rumors about Gabriel Jesus and if that happens, Nketiah may again be asked to play more of a supplemental role. No matter, he got a new contract and has bigger things in sight.

Fifth goal of season Nketiah scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal), crossing once accurately and creating two chances during Sunday's 5-1 win over Everton.

Impact Nketiah found the back of the net in the 31st minute scoring Arsenal's second goal. After struggling for minutes and not even making the squad early in the season, Nketiah started the final eight matches of the campaign, racking up five goals, 24 shots and seven chances created in that period. Funny enough, those numbers topped the four goals in 14 appearances Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had for Arsenal.

Brace in win Nketiah scored twice on five shots (two on goal) during Wednesday's 4-2 win over Chelsea.

Impact Nketiah scored his first two goals of the 2021/22 campaign during Wednesday's win. The forward hasn't been a major fantasy play for the most part, but is looking to be in fine form now with two starts and two goals in back-to-back matches. That said once Alexandre Lacazette is back Nketiah will be straight back on the bench most likely.

Takes shot in start Nketiah took a shot and created a chance in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Southampton. He also made two interceptions, a block and a clearance in the match.

Impact Nketiah made his first Premier League start in almost a full year on Saturday as Alexandre Lacazette was out with an illness, and he wasn't able to find an equalizing goal against Southampton. He will likely return to the bench once Lacazette is healthy again.

Goes full 90 in Cup loss Nketiah (COVID-19) went the full 90 at central forward in Sunday's FA Cup loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Nketiah is back from COVID-19 and was immediately given minutes in the Cup loss. He's appeared in just three league matches this season, though it's a wonder if he'll see more time in the second half given the status of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the side.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Nketiah is missing from the squad list to face Manchester City Saturday as he tested positive for COVID-19, The Evening Standard informs.

Starts, scores in Cup win Nketiah (ankle) started and scored in 83 minutes of Wednesday's Cup win against Wimbledon.

Impact Nketiah had been training for a couple weeks and he was fit enough to make his first appearance of the season Wednesday. He remains a backup for league play, but he should sneak his way into XIs in non-league competition after playing 414 league minutes last season.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in full training Nketiah (ankle) is training in full and available for Saturday's match against Norwich.

Impact Nketiah looks to be an option again after picking up an ankle injury about a month ago. Unfortunately, everyone else is close to full health, meaning there probably isn't a role in the squad for him at the moment after receiving four league starts last season.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out at least four weeks Nketiah suffered an ankle injury in last weekend's friendly and is expected to return to training in four weeks.

Impact It's an unfortunate injury for Nketiah, who is still growing and learning in Arsenal's system. He made 17 league appearances last season and will be hoping to surpass the four starts he made. The hope is that he can return as soon as possible from this injury with a timeline pointing toward the end of the first international break.
