Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah is a player that many Gunners fans would like to see in the starting line up for tonight’s game against Brentford.
The 19-year-old has been in excellent form for the Under 23s and scored for the Under 21s against Coventry in the Checkatrade Trophy earlier this month.
The club’s official Twitter account shared a photo of Nketiah and many are seeing it as a possible sign that the forward will be named by Unai Emery in the team to face the Bees:
the feeling when you know you will finally play and smash in 3 goals

In last season’s Carabao Cup, the striker made an instant impact with a brace against Norwich. He was given substitute appearances by Arsene Wenger in the league, FA Cup and Europa League, but he has yet to start for the club.
Will Emery give him the opportunity to shine at the Emirates tonight? We shall have to wait and see.
