Emery makes young player pledge as Nketiah states case for Arsenal

Unai Emery vowed to give high-performing youngsters a chance at Arsenal following Eddie Nketiah's late winner versus Bayern Munich in the International Champions Cup.

England Under-21 international Nketiah converted at close range in the 88th minute in California to give the Gunners a 2-1 victory over the German champions.

Nketiah, 20, also impressed in the recent 3-0 friendly defeat of Colorado Rapids and could be set to add to his eight Premier League appearances, all of which have come as a substitute.
