Here is your Arsenal morning digest for Monday, May 9.
Nketiah message
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has claimed that everyone at the club loves contract rebel Eddie Nketiah following the Englishman's brace against Leeds United yesterday. "He’s doing what he’s done all season – when he’s been on the bench, sitting at home or on the pitch," Arteta told Sky Sports.
"This boy doesn’t change, that’s why we absolutely adore him & he deserves what is happening to him." The Spaniard added: "He’s still got a lot to do but now he has the right environment and he has the right personnel around him.
"Now he can be judged by what he does on the pitch and before he didn’t have that context."

Leicester are bracing themselves for offers this summer, and if the Gunners can secure Champions League football, they will then be in the 'box seat' to sign the player, it's added.
