Eddie Nketiah was praised by former Premier League striker Troy Deeney for his outstanding performance in Arsenal’s 2-1 Premier League win over West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday.

Nketiah showed maturity during the game against West Ham, according to Deeney, who insisted on keeping Alexandre Lacazette on the bench.

Arsenal overcame West Ham 2-0 thanks to two goals from Rob Holding and Gabriel Magalhaes. Nketiah was a dynamic figure in Arsenal’s assault line.

Deeney told BBC’s Match of the Day 2: “I thought he was amazing, he did everything.”

“A lot of the opportunities he created were due to his own actions. It was only his fourth [league] start of the season, so seeing him play with such assurance was impressive.

The best compliment you can give him is that he kept Alexandre Lacazette on the bench, who didn’t look at him at any point.

“He really got at West Ham and used intelligent runs. On another day he scores. He really grew in the game and showed a level of maturity I didn’t know he had at this moment in time.

When Arsenal takes on Leeds United next weekend, Nketiah will be hoping to keep up his outstanding form.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
