The England youth international was brought in after Kemar Roofe left the Elland Road outfit for Anderlecht, and he is expected to challenge Patrick Bamford for the starting berth to lead Leeds’ line.
Nketiah made just nine senior appearances in all competitions for Arsenal last season, and a loan move was pertinent in order for his development to continue.
