Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah in a 'Brilliant Place' at Leeds, Says Aidy Boothroyd

England under-21s boss Aidy Boothroyd believes Arsenal youngster Eddie Nketiah is in a "brilliant place" on loan at Leeds United under Marcelo Bielsa this season.

Nketiah scored a hat-trick for the Young Lions as they beat Austria's under-21 side 5-1 on Tuesday.

Per Tom Doyle of the Evening Standard, Boothroyd said:

"[Nketiah] gets his minutes with us, and I'm sure he'll do well at his club team.

"He is in a brilliant place, learning off a great coach, and I know because he has said he is enjoying being there at such a big club, and when he comes to us he is ready and fresh—hopefully we can send him back as a better player.
