Arsenal's Nketiah has eyes on Premier league and Champions League double

Eddie Nketiah has been gaining prominence in Arsenal's first-team squad over the past two years, having become a key player for Mikel Arteta.  The Hale End-trained striker added another goal to his tally after scoring the Gunners' only goal in their Champions League 1-1 draw against PSV.

The 24-year-old has grown in confidence to the point where he has allowed himself to dream big for his boyhood club, targeting a Champions League and Premier League double.

"My dream is to win (both)! It (the Champions League) is a great competition to be in. We have worked so hard to get there, so we are going to keep pushing every day to deliver and hopefully achieve our dreams," he said when asked about the possibility of winning both competitions.

"There is no point being in a competition if you don’t dream to win. We have the quality to do so and we are pushing every day to win every tournament that we enter and play in. That’s our aim and that’s the aim of Arsenal Football Club. That’s what the fans want and we are working every day to try and achieve that," he concluded

The north London academy product has made 22 competitive appearances so far this season, 12 starts, scoring six goals and providing one assist. ​
