Leeds United are confident that Arsenal loanee Eddie Nketiah will not end his spell at Elland Road prematurely in January, amid reports of Bristol City reviving their interest in the young forward.

Nketiah, who scored this week for England's U21 side, has yet to start a Championship match for Marcelo Bielsa's side this season despite scoring four goals in nine matches across all competitions.

According to the Sun , this has led Lee Johnson to revitalise his interest in bringing the Premier League starlet to Bristol City in January, encouraged by Arsenal's option to recall the forward in January.

However, as explained by our sister site Leeds Live, supporters of Bielsa's side have been told not to worry about the speculation by Angus Kinnear.

Although it was confirmed last month that Arsenal do possess a recall option in Nketiah's deal with Leeds, there is no suggestion the Gunners will activate their option.

"It's fairly standard in these contracts to have January recalls but the decision is based on how well the loan's going so if the players are playing, and they're playing well, and they're enjoying their football and they're developing," Kinnear told fan podcast Talking Schutt.

"Which I think we can evidence in both Ben and Eddie's case, then you'd be fairly confident that the recall wouldn't be activated by the parent club."

Arsenal have high expectations for Nketiah, as they consider the youngster to be a candidate for a regular first-team role in the future to succeed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette at the Emirates Stadium.
