Arsenal striker Nketiah: Great season start; Rice making difference

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah says the players are delighted with their unbeaten run.

The Gunners are yet to taste defeat this season ahead of meeting Bournemouth this weekend.

“We've done well, you know, but we know within ourselves we can still go one more," Nketiah told arsenal.com. “We want to win all the games possible and I think we've had a good start but we can still improve, all of us individually and collectively, so we're hungry to improve and continue.

“There were loads of good points in the season.

“I think, first of all, the atmosphere at the Emirates we created, especially last season, is amazing. That's really what has rallied us all together and you can really see that, when teams come to the Emirates, they feel that pressure and atmosphere, so I think that's really been good for us and really been a nice strength of us."

On the addition of former Chelsea academy teammate Declan Rice in the summer, Nketiah added: “I think he's a great player, a really good guy as well.

“Obviously I know him and his family really well, so it's really good and I'm happy that he's here because I think he's a really good player and I'm sure he's going to help us a lot this season."
