Eddie Nketiah insists it has 'always been his goal be Arsenal's No 9' amid his current contract standoff... as the forward refuses to 'close the door' to playing for Ghana ahead of the World Cup

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has revealed his goal has always been to be the Gunners No 9 despite his contract standoff.

The 22-year-old's current deal at the Emirates expires in June and has yet to agree new terms after making just one league start this season.

Since signing a five-year contract with Arsenal at 18 years old, Nketiah has made just 85 appearances across all competitions.

But he is said to be particularly disappointed with his lack of game time this term, making just 14 Premier League appearances in Mikel Arteta's side.
