West Ham United forward Michail Antonio was full of praise for Arsenal marksman Eddie Nketiah, describing him as a ‘great’ striker.
Nketiah found the net for Arsenal in their 3-1 win over West Ham earlier in the season and Antonio, who participated in the game, was left in awe.
“The way he played against us – urgh. He surprised me! He was dropping in deep, picking it up, he rolled a couple of our defenders to score his goal. He was quality. From that moment I have watched him and he’s been doing it in so many games.
“He’s a great striker, and I’m happy for him. A young boy coming up, he’s showing what he can do. You don’t always have to go and spend money, you can see that sometimes in your academy you can bring boys up and they can do it,” he told The Footballer’s Football Podcast.
Nketiah has scored four Premier League goals this season.
