You know that figure puts him in about the top 15 most productive players in the league and makes him worth 40M+ probably.
That’s a huge leap.

Its 14, 21, 18 g/a during PL season.
I get 14 g/a from the PL website.

I have faith Nketiah will easily replace these numbers. If not then rotate Martinelly and Nketiah and they will easily replace these numbers.
I'd expect Arsenal's staring center forward to always be in the top 15 most productive players in the league... let's not suggest that is some amazing accomplishment.
Yeah, I know, and unlike others here I think he is capable. Raw, but capable.
Eddie is a really good player to have in the squad, his off the ball work is really good. The only way we could get away with Eddie as a starting center forward is if Pepe really ups his production, which we cant say for certain will happen.
Country: England
I used transfermarket. My guess would be that they include penalties won as an assist maybe.
Even with your numbers that’s still an average of 18 g/a per season, a mark that only about 15 players reach each season.
Would be a pleasant surprise for sure but not sure where this belief that Eddie is one of the best forwards in the league is coming from.
Country: England
It kind of is though?
Country: Iceland
Don't think he is the best forward in the league. He has incredible potential though! I think he will easily be better than Laca who is very average and given his stamina I fear his decline has already started.

Jokes about Hull aside, he’s still very young and sharp progress isn’t beyond the realms of fantasy, but my concern for him way back was that lack of an outstanding attribute, be it physically or technically. He’s still just decent everywhere. Nothing really to fall back on.
Would be a bit harsh to comparing to premiership legends at this point, but if you look at Owen or Fowler for example, everybody knew what their game was going to be based around even when they were babies.

Think "work-rate" could be his.
Strikers now are used more and more as the workhorses for the goal scoring wingers, could see Eddie doing this...even if he is just our back up striker, think he could have a decent career here in the next few years.
Country: England
What I’m trying to say keeps being ignore/missed so I’ll put some effort into the next post. It’s commonly believed (for reasons I can’t understand) that Eddie can meet Lacazette’s average PL goal contribution of 18.
Here are the players that have hit those numbers since Lacazette joined the league.
19/20 season
18/19 season
17/18 season
The players who show up repeatedly in these lists are literally the best in the world at what they do, there are some purple patches in there but even those players have considerably more experience than Nketiah.
Because you lot don't rate Lacazette you tell yourselves that eighteen goal contributions a season is quite easy to do but the names above clearly show that it's not. What do you think the average value of players in the lists above must be? We're pretty much looking at a list of 50M + players here.
Country: England
Looking at those stats, this is Salah's league. Guy is taking the piss.

Great post above and I’ve tried to explain myself that Lacazette is honestly not as terrible as some will have you believe.Looking at those stats, this is Salah's league. Guy is taking the piss.
You’re wasting your time though, the final score aside a lot of footy is subjective and people will like what they will like.

People are comparing Wright and Nketiah. Closest player I've seen to Wrighty is Greenwood.
Nketiah just seems to lack that reaction, snap and burst of acelleration required in and around the box. When you look at smaller forwards such as wrighty or augero, defore this has alway been key to attributes to their success. Unfortunately I don't see any stand out quality.
Tbh I think we need to a top Championship side or lower level PL team. Hopefully it will raise his price tag and we can sell for £10-£15m next year.

Nketiah is a good squad player to have but can’t see him being an elite striker like some think. Time will tell I guess. Big season for him especially if Lacazette is sold
8 goals in 8 appearances. Good return.
Country: England
Good on him, fantastic news and achievement.
Country: England
I do quite like Nktetiah and goals/goal scoring opportunities come quite easy to him which I think is a really underrated skill.
Plus he's not bad on the ball either and quite fast too.
I do agree with the sentiment that he'd probably rack up quite a lot of goals if given a starting berth and a consistent run of play but the question is whether he'd be ready to be the no1 in crucial games.
I was hoping that Arteta would play Auba as the starting CF, which would allow us to sell Lacazette and reinvest the money. But if the boss is insistent that Aubameyang starts on the left and if we don't get any decent bid for Lacazette I say he should stay, with Nketiah as back up.
