Arsenal are in the market for a forward with Jesus out injured for three months. The Brazilian suffered an injury at the FIFA World Cup and underwent surgery on his knee.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Murphy made bold claims about Nketiah and said that the young striker was going to score more goals than Jesus. He said:
Jesus has registered five goals and seven assists in 20 games for Arsenal since joining the club from Manchester City last summer.
Arsenal legend not happy with Eddie Nketiah
While Danny Murphy was full of praise for Nketiah, Arsenal legend Paul Merson believes he is not good enough for the Gunners.
He went on to claim that the striker is suitable to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are at the bottom of the table.
In his Daily Star column, Merson wrote:
He added:
Jesus scored five times in the league for Arsenal in his 14 starts. However, he has not managed to score in his five appearances in the UEFA Europa League.
Nketiah has scored two goals in his three Premier League starts (plus 12 off the bench) while also scoring twice in the Europa League.
