Mikel Arteta made a desperate transfer plea to Eddie Nketiah after his hat-trick for Arsenal against Sunderland inside the Carabao Cup.

Speaking after the 5-1 win, the Spanish supervisor stated: “As a club and me personally I really want him to live here and that’s what we’re seeking to do.
“I let you know every day that we want to preserve Eddie. We see how he trains, that’s what he does every day, he works so tough and puts the ball within the internet every consultation.
“I am sincerely extremely joyful with him. Every time we've wanted him he has constantly responded.
“His most effective factor is that he wishes greater minutes. That’s his desire.

“He desires game time, he desires to be on that field and this is the best purpose to say can I do it right here? That’s the question. We all want him to stay.”
Nketiah’s hat-trick became rather overshadowed by means of a debut intention for extraordinarily-regarded teenager Charlie Patino, who Arteta labelled “unique” in his submit-fit press conference.
