Arsenal legend Keown on what makes Nketiah a "proper" striker

Ex-Arsenal defender Martin Keown has described Eddie Nketiah as a 'very intelligent'.

The 20-year old is on loan at Leeds United from the Emirates Stadium and has been impressive, scoring four goals in eight appearances, even though six of those appearances and two of the goals have all come from the bench in the Championship.

"He makes such good runs. He is always on the move and he's very intelligent," Keown told BT Sport.

Nketiah, who is eligible to play for England and Ghana, also received words of commendation from Young Lions boss Aidy Boothroyd, calling him talented.
