He embodies everything we stand for and all of the club&#8217;s values.&#8221; We are delighted that he has extended his contract; now we must get to work and continue to develop the exceptional talent and person that we have in him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The foundations of this squad are built on young talent, particularly those who have come through our Academy system,&#8221; added technical director Edu. Eddie was released by another club as a young man, but he has always demonstrated the attitude and ability to become a top player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The fact that he&#8217;s signed a new contract is an important part of our squad&#8217;s planning for next season, and we&#8217;re all excited about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nketiah is a popular Hale End academy graduate at Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He joined the club when he was 14 years old and worked his way up the ranks before making his competitive first team debut in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was a member of the team that won the FA Cup and the Community Shield in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After being trusted to lead the line for the majority of Arsenal&#8217;s games, the striker finished the season on a high note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His best performance, arguably, came in Arsenal&#8217;s 4-2 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where he scored a brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nketiah will also wear the iconic No.14 shirt, which has previously been worn by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and club legend Thierry Henry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After falling out of favour with Arteta and club officials, Aubameyang left the club in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 22-year-old was
