The 20-year-old joined the Whites from Arsenal in August but has so far been overlooked in favour of Patrick Bamford.
I’ve seen Eddie plenty of times playing for the Under-23s at Arsenal, and he is an unbelievable player.
Over the last two years, he’s scored 21 goals in 23 games in Premier League 2, plus 23 goals in 27 games for the England age groups. If you can get him in and around the sixyard box, he knows what he’s doing.
That’s why a reported 50-plus clubs came in for him during the summer, with Leeds just pipping Bristol City at the post.
Lee Johnson, the City manager, had a little pop this week, querying whether Nketiah was getting the “pure minutes” he would have been given at Ashton Gate.
A lot of Leeds fans share those concerns - and are starting to fear that Arsenal might consider a recall in January if things don’t change.
Personally, I wouldn’t worry. As someone involved in the loan process at Premier League level, the days of players being sent out willy-nilly are long gone.
