- Alan Shearer questions Arsenal star after win over Everton

Despite the return to full fitness of striker Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta opted to retain faith in Nketiah who recently received his first call-up to the England senior national team.

Nketiah was largely swamped by Everton’s commanding central defenders. It was Leandro Torssard’s second half goal that gave Arsenal all three points against the host. Assessing Nketiah’s display, Shearer told Premier League Productions that the 24-year-old was slow during the encounter.“Is he the top drawer striker that perhaps Arsenal need to go to that next level.

“We will keep asking those questions because it’s important when he gets the opportunity, like he has done again today and the manager says I’m having belief in you and I’m putting you in again then he has to take those opportunities. “Today I just thought there were two or three occasions, one being the disallowed goal, there was a couple in that second half where I’m thinking come on, get on the end of it get in that six-yard box and get that tap in that all great strikers do and it was just a split second where he was slow.
