Eddie Nketiah says he is not currently thinking about his future until Arsenal's pre-season tour has finished.

The striker has been linked with moves on loan to both Bristol City and Charlton Athletic, with the Robins said to be willing to pay a fee to take him from the Gunners.

Yet City suffered a blow in their hopes after Unai Emery challenged Nketiah to win a place in the Arsenal first team following the 20-year-old's brilliant form in pre-season.

Whilst Nketiah says nothing is decided on his future yet, he says he wants to be playing regularly this season, which could offer the Robins renewed hope that the striker will go out on loan.

He told the Mirror: “There was talk of that [going out on loan] and it was close to happening in January but the club decided that I should stay and I tried to finish the season as strongly as possible.

“We’ll see what happens in the future but I’m just enjoying the tour and in the future decisions will be made.

“I need to keep pushing, keep working and as for the season I want to be playing regularly. After the pre-season tour, it’s something that I’ll look at with my family and speak to the manager and see what’s best for me.

“I feel like I have a great relationship with the fans. It’s nice that they notice that and sing my name. That’s a dream come true. Even out here the fans are screaming my name.

“They travel all around the world to see us play and support us. I always try to give them something back and I’m so grateful that they have taken to me like that as one of the boys from the academy and I hope it can continue.”
