Arsenal: ‘There is a lot of room for improvement’ says Arteta
Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed that Arsenal will be recalling Eddie Ntetiah in January. The 20-year-old has impressed during his season-long load to Elland Road despite being behind Patrick Bamford in the pecking order.
Bielsa was asked after the draw with fellow Championship high-flyers West Brom whether he was aware of Arsenal’s intentions, to which he confirmed the news.
He said: “It is a pity for us that he is leaving us because we were happy with him.
"He is a great player, an excellent professional and he had very good behaviour, he is a gentleman in every sense.
“We are grateful to him and also to his family and his club."

"I would like to say a big thank you to my teammates, the coaching staff and the manager for making my time here an enjoyable one.
"Lastly, a big thank you to all the wonderful fans for taking to me so quickly.
“I wish the club all the best and I’m sure you’ll get to the promised land."
Leeds sit top of the table on goal difference after their draw at the Hawthorns, with Arsenal seven points off the top four before their clash against Manchester United.
