Gabby Agbonlahor<\/strong> has insisted Eddie Nketiah is not good enough to be a regular starter for Arsenal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, claimed Brentford star Ivan Toney is now a “no-brainer signing” for the Gunners in the January window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nketiah<\/a> has made 11 appearances so far in the 2023-24 campaign, notching two goals and one assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Arsenal\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He has started seven from a possible eight Premier League games and recently made his England debut in the friendly win over Australia last week (13 October).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel Jesus has played second fiddle to Nketiah this season, notching three goals in nine appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Toney is expected to be the subject of interest from several top clubs in January as his gambling ban comes to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He managed 21 goals and five assists in 35 games across all competitions last season<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agbonlahor told Football Insider<\/strong>\u2019s Ewan Kingsbury: \u201cI look at Nketiah and I see a player you bring on for 10 minutes if you need a goal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s more of a super sub.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not strong enough, not quick enough, he misses chances, he doesn\u2019t have the instinct in front of goal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s different if you have the pace, but Nketiah doesn\u2019t have that killer speed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven Gabriel Jesus isn\u2019t prolific, he\u2019s not strong enough to lead the line on his own.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Arsenal\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I believe Ivan Toney is now a no-brainer signing for Arsenal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhoever gets him in January, really, has got a great chance of winning the title.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
