Eddie Nketiah cannot wait to get his Marcelo Bielsa education | OneFootball

Eddie Nketiah is looking very forward to life under Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa after the Arsenal starlet secured a season-long loan at Elland Road.

In an interview with the Leeds United official website, the 20-year-old revealed his excitement to start learning from the Argentine legend.

“I think learning under him will be great,” said Nketiah.

“He has worked with such great players already and helped them develop them and their careers.

“I feel like he is a very demanding coach and I am eager to learn and eager to improve so I feel like we will get along well and hopefully it will be the best matching combination for both myself and Leeds.

“It was a tough decision but I know the club is such a big club with a rich history and the manager played a big part as well – wanting to learn under him and the project of the club, where it wants to go, the direction it wants to go.”

Nketiah enjoyed a fantastic pre-season with the Gunners and comes in as Kemar Roofe’s replacement.

The England U-20 international has made 19 first-team appearances at Arsenal, scoring three goals.
