‘Stick around… this is the place’: Hat-trick hero Eddie Nketiah URGED by Paul Merson to stay at Arsenal and ‘have faith in his ability that he will get a start’… with striker angling for a move after he turned down contract offer
- Arsenal brushed past Sunderland 5-1 to reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals
- Eddie Nketiah scored a hat-trick to stake his spot for a regular starting berth
- His future is uncertain, with the ace having turned down the latest contract offer
- But Paul Merson is keen for him to sign the fresh terms and stay at the Emirates
Paul Merson has urged Eddie Nketiah to commit his future to Arsenal, after the youngster scored a superb hat-trick in the Carabao Cup victory against Sunderland.
Poacher Nketiah was found in formidable form at the Emirates, with his trio downing the League One side and helping to secure the Gunners’ spot in the semi-finals.
But it is unclear where his long-term future lies, and Merson has now advised him to stay put for at least another couple of seasons to continue his development.

‘My advice would be, I’d say stick here. Stick here for two, three more years. He’s a kid, he’s got plenty of years left,’ the former Arsenal man said on Sky Sports.
‘He’s only going to get better and better. This is the place. You weigh it up. You probably go to a bottom half Premier League team.
‘You sit and play on scraps, going on away games and not even getting shots on target. You’ve got to weigh all that kind of stuff up.
