Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah says that he will make a decision on his future at the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season.

Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah has revealed that he will not make a decision on his future at the Emirates Stadium until the end of the campaign.

The 22-year-old's contract with the Gunners is due to expire at the end of June, and he continues to be strongly linked with a move away from the club.

Nketiah has made 21 appearances for Mikel Arteta's side during the 2021-22 campaign, with 14 of those outings coming in the Premier League, but he is yet to score in the league this term.

The forward has revealed that he has been offered a new deal but will wait until the end of the season before making a decision, as he wants to play regular football at this stage of his career.

"There have been offers of a new contract but at the moment my aim is to play football and play regularly. That's my ambition and that's what I hope to do but at the same time I'm at Arsenal, I love Arsenal," Nketiah told the Beautiful Game Podcast.

"I'm just trying to focus on the season until May and make sure I finish that in a good way and then sit down and see what I think is the best opportunity to allow me to take those steps and develop.

"I feel like I'm at the stage where I've signed a contract for five years when I was 18 and in that five years, how many starts have I had here? I went on loan for six months and been here for the rest and I have probably started about 30 games maybe in all competitions.

"I see players my age that I've played with and they kick on and it's like 'what's the difference between someone I was playing with at England Under-21s?'.

"I was the captain and they're doing more. It's not even a thing of looking at them and hating them, I'm happy for them, but how did they get to the point where they are feeling confident and it's through playing those games and having that experience. For me to take the next step and get to where I think I can get to I obviously need to consider getting more minutes."

Nketiah has scored 18 goals and registered two assists in 85 appearances for Arsenal since making his debut for the London club in 2017.
