Ghanaian-born Eddie Nketiah has been named in Arsenal’s pre-season tour in the USA.

The attacker was included in the squad to prepare for the new season.

Nketiah cameoed for Arsenal last season where he made just two appearances for the first team.

He could play a major part this time around after being named among the 29 players to embark on the tour.

The former England U17 star has been tipped as one of the emerging prospects at Arsenal as many believe he could step into the shoes of Club legend Thierry Henry.

Arsenal are expected to spend a couple of weeks in the United States where they will engage themselves in series of Club friendlies before returning to England for the new season.
