Arsenal youngster Eddie Nketiah has vowed to fight for a place in Unai Emery's team next season.

The striker spent last season playing behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

Nketiah hopes he can continue to push the established pair during the 2019/20 campaign, rather than leave on loan.

He told PA: "My ideal scenario is to be playing here, I want to play here next season but we have got to see how that goes.

"I am confident enough in my ability that I am good enough to play here so I have just got to work hard and show the manager that I can.

"My aim is to play for Arsenal, that is my goal and has been my aim since I was a kid.

"It is great to have two of the best strikers in the world around you and learn from them every day. I'm just progressing, trying to catch them and make the gap smaller and smaller."
