"Nketiah to Stay at Arsenal for Now", Says Arteta Ahead of Arsenal Trip To Villa

Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta Addresses Eddie Nketiah's Future Amid Nottingham Forest Rumors

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an update on Eddie Nketiah's situation, amidst rumors of a potential transfer to Nottingham Forest.

When asked about the striker's future, Arteta stated, "I expect Eddie to train with us today and get ready for tomorrow, that's it." He added, "Whatever happens will happen if it's good for everybody," suggesting that the club will prioritize a decision that benefits all parties involved.

Nketiah was reportedly on the verge of joining Nottingham Forest before the transfer window closed, with personal terms already agreed upon. However, Arteta's comments indicate that the English striker will continue to train with Arsenal, at least for the time being.

The Gunners are set to face Aston Villa in their Premier League clash this weekend, following a strong start to the season with a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton in their opening game. As the team prepares for the upcoming match, Nketiah's future remains uncertain, leaving fans wondering if he will be part of the squad that takes on Aston Villa.
