Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has paid tribute to Eddie Nketiah.

Saturday's clash at Newcastle will mark the striker's 100th game for the club.

Nketiah struck a hat-trick last week against Sheffield United and Arteta said: "He has earned that right [to play 100 times].

"We tried to explain to him what his role is in the team and the opportunities he would have like any other player, in relation to his performance.

"The fact he has played that many games is because of his own performances, and the reasons he is giving us to trust him."
