'How can you be so ungrateful?' Arsenal defender Gabriel dismayed as fans question Eddie Nketiah receiving club record goalscorer Thierry Henry's No 14 shirt after agreeing new deal... and Gunners legend Ian Wright tells striker's critics to 'shut the f**

Arsenal defender Gabriel has called critics of Eddie Nketiah's new Gunners deal 'ungrateful' — and club legend Ian Wright waded in to a row over the striker being handed record goalscorer Thierry Henry's old number 14 shirt.

Out-of-contract Nketiah has ended growing uncertainty about his future by signing a new long-term deal at Arsenal, posing with the shirt number made iconic by Henry during the striking great's sensational first eight years at the club.

News of the decision on Saturday led to a row on social media, where some fans saw the move as a sign of Arsenal's decline from their days with the prolific Henry as their top scorer.
