I guess it was a bit too much when he was younger. But what he is doing right now is brilliant. I am happy for him because he did struggle for a little bit. Now he is looking good,” Henry said.

Arsenal’s biggest issue has been their chance conversion and Mikel Arteta feels signing a new striker can solve that problem.

Arsenal are considering signing Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke in January, according to The Daily Star.

Arteta is willing to sell Nketiah this month in order to fund a move for Solanke or either Ivan Toney from Brentford.

Nketiah could be sold by Arsenal for about £30 million since the Gunners are looking to balance the books for FFP.
