Cost £0, now worth £44m: Arsenal have hit the jackpot on “extraordinary” 5 ft 8 dynamo

Arsenal have had a fantastic season so far, with Mikel Arteta leading the Gunners to the top of the Premier League and the chance to win their first title since 2003/2004.

There is still much work to be done, but if they continue to play well and keep their cool, the North London side will be crowned English champions for the 14th time in their illustrious history.


The Spaniard has done well in recruiting, with the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Leandro Trossard looking like smart signings that could propel Arsenal to victory.

The 40-year-old also relies heavily on his young players, with Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, and William Saliba all blossoming into fine performers, but it is another young star who has recently had to shoulder some extra responsibility on whom the club has struck gold – Eddie Nketiah.

Eddie Nketiah’s current net worth is unknown.

Nketiah has been Arteta’s main center-forward since Jesus suffered a knee injury at the World Cup, which kept him out for three months.

He has four Premier League goals and one assist since Christmas, totaling nine this season as he looks to establish himself as one of the team’s main strikers.

The 23-year-old made his first team debut under Arsene Wenger in the 2017/2018 season after scoring 46 goals in the Hale End academy.

Despite a few appearances in the years following Wenger’s departure, he didn’t manage more than 20 league matches until last season, but everything has clearly been a springboard for his increased contribution so far this season.

Although Saka and Martinelli provide a significant attacking threat from wide positions, Arteta expects goals from his center-forward, and his recent performances have increased his value.

Arsenal appear to have hit the jackpot on the 5 foot 8 dynamo, who cost the club nothing and is now valued at €50m (£44m) according to the CIES Football Observatory.

Arteta previously described him as “extraordinary,” and there is no doubt he has matured into a fine striker. If Arsenal decides to sell him, they will be confident that they can make a significant profit on the Englishman.
