Can Nketiah replace Aubameyang as Arsenal's attacking lynchpin?

The 20-year-old has been tipped as a potential trade for the Gunners' driving scorer, however is there substance there?

One of the incredible vulnerabilities of the coronavirus episode as it concerns football is the impact it will have on player contracts.

For advance players and players out of agreement toward the finish of the period, their lawful understandings would basically make them free operators by June 1, a circumstance that could undermine the trustworthiness of groups if alliance seasons stretch out past that date.

Be that as it may, for players, for example, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who are out of agreement in the mid year of 2021, clubs are confronted with an alternate kind of concern: they are being denied of the last dribbles of utility from a prize resource on the books.

The clamors from the agents of the Gabon universal, who is Arsenal's top goalscorer so far this season, are such that the club's capacity to make sure about Champions League football will be a factor in his choice to reestablish. As that storyline must be settled when the ebb and flow season reaches a complete conclusion – at whatever point that may eventually be – it is convenient for the Gunners to start to look for choices.

There is, obviously, no simple response to the inquiry "how would you supplant 61 objectives in 96 appearances?", nor is it promptly evident that, regardless of whether the North London club had the kind of assets to plunge into the exchange showcase, there is an enormous pool of demonstrated, top-quality focus advances to browse.

Could the arrangement come, rather, from inside?

Michael Owen assumes in this way, and a week ago he named youthful Ghanaian striker Eddie Nketiah as having the capacity to get the gauntlet and worry about Arsenal's scoring concern going ahead.

"They have a pleasant mix too. They're bringing a couple of youthful players through, [Eddie] Nketiah, [Gabriel] Martinelli scoring objectives too," Owen disclosed to Premier League Productions.

"You never know, one of those two fellows forthright could transform into appropriate players and resemble him [Aubameyang], scoring 20 or more objectives a season and they're extremely valuable.

The previous Liverpool man, himself a goalscoring wonder in his prime, would know. In any case, being fit for leading for the Arsenal assault is an overwhelming assignment that has cowed many; witness the battles with wellness and certainty of Alexandre Lacazette, another whose agreement will be up in the extremely not so distant future.

Nketiah, who just came back to the club in January following a shortened advance spell at Championship table-toppers Leeds United, has begun the Gunners' last three matches in the Premier League, scoring once – in the 3-2 thrashing of Everton in February. He has likewise scored twice in two matches in the FA Cup.
