“I signed a contract with Arsenal not to sit on the bench,” Eddie Nketiah asserted, emphasizing that he refuses to accept being a substitute at Arsenal and will give his all to earn opportunities to showcase his abilities.
The English striker shared:
“No, I don’t think I’ve accepted being a backup, and I will never accept that.”“That’s not my mentality. I joined Arsenal not to be on the bench and become a second-choice option. I want to be the best, I want to play, and that’s the mindset I have.”
“I understand that I may not feature in every match, and that’s the coach’s decision. But my mindset will never accept not playing.”
“I will always train hard, to have a chance to prove why I believe I should be on the pitch and give the manager a headache.”
“Most players should have that mentality. There’s no benefit in complaining every day. The coach’s door is always open for you to talk to him, but you also have to show it on the field.”
