Arsenal: Ranking young prospects by superstar likelihood

6. Eddie Nketiah

Eddie Nketiah is a brilliant goalscorer. Throughout his youth career, and even during his brief time in senior football, he has consistently displayed his natural ability to score goals. He made five starts this season for Arsenal since returning to the club in January and score in three of them, each finish a clear illustration of his anticipation and sharpness in the penalty area.

Goals might be enough to take Nketiah to the Premier League. But as modern football evolves and more is demanded of centre-forwards than ever, Nketiah must do more than just stick the ball in the back of net to find a starting role at the Emirates.

And in this area, the 20-year-old has struggled. He is still a little slight, is often barged off the ball by more physically imposing defenders, and his touch is sometimes a little loose and wayward. Nketiah can be a very good reserve centre-forward who knows how to score crucial goals at crucial times, but can he be a superstar? On that, the jury is still out.
