Leeds United remain calm over the possibility of Arsenal recalling striker Eddie Nketiah after reports suggested that possibility this weekend. 

The Sun claims that Bristol City, who missed out on Nketiah to Leeds in the summer, are still keen on the England under-21 goal-getter. 

They are hopeful his perceived lack of match action at Elland Road will allow them to convince Arsenal to recall Nketiah and send him to Ashton Gate for the rest of the season. 

However, Leeds United are reportedly staying calm over the issue. As reported by The Mirror, Leeds believe Nketiah will ‘become a key player’ over the next few months and that Arsenal have no concerns over his playing time.

It is certainly true that Nketiah is not yet a regular for Leeds. He has yet to start a Championship game for the club with Patrick Bamford currently the lone frontman at Elland Road. 

However, he has become a vastly popular figure with the fans and has shown his talents on numerous occasions off the bench this season. 

Nketiah has four goals in all competitions for Leeds and given the nature of the Championship is bound to see his first Leeds start in the weeks to come. 

When he does, he will hope to dig in and retain a starting place under Marcelo Bielsa.
