Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was amongst the players to send a message to Eddie Nketiah on Instagram after the striker scored twice for Arsenal in their superb 4-2 win over Chelsea on Wednesday.

Nketiah was the star of the show at Stamford Bridge. The former Blues academy starlet bagged a brace to help Mikel Arteta’s men get their top-four push in the Premier League back on track.

He did brilliantly for both goals, capitalising on mistakes in the Chelsea defence to finish superbly. It was the kind of performance that surely leaves Arteta with no choice but to stick with him in the games ahead.

It was also the kind of display that vindicates why the hopes have been so high for the 22-year-old. Certainly, it was no surprise that a number of players from various clubs sent a message to Nketiah on Instagram.

The most notable was surely Aubameyang. Of course, the former Arsenal captain left the Emirates in January after a disappointing end to his spell in North London.

Meanwhile, Joe Willock and Alex Iwobi also sent messages. Barry Douglas – who played alongside Nketiah while he was on loan at Leeds – expressed his delight at seeing that the youngster back in the goals…

Eddie Nketiah must take emotion out of decision on his Arsenal future

It was a fantastic night for Nketiah. And it was the kind of performance that may leave some thinking that he could yet have a long-term future at Arsenal.

However, Nketiah should surely try and take emotion out of the decision. Clearly, nothing would mean more to him than leading the line for Arsenal in the future.

But the Gunners are going to sign at least one marquee striker this summer. So it is hard to see Nketiah featuring regularly next year, no matter how well he performs in the weeks ahead.

Instead, Nketiah should look at the coming games as an opportunity to prove to another side why they should build their team around him from next season.

He is off to a brilliant start.
