England Under-21s record goalscorer Eddie Nketiah says it is 'extra special' to get his first call-up to the senior squad.
Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has said it feels "extra special" to be called up to the England senior squad for the first time.The 24-year-old has had to wait for a senior call-up since becoming too old to represent the U21s in 2021, having also opted against playing for Ghana.Speaking at England's training headquarters, St George's Park, Nketiah added: "Obviously I've been here a few times but it does feel different - it's extra special.
Nketiah has begun the season well, starting three of Arsenal's four Premier League games and scoring two goals. "I am a much better player now than I was two or three years ago. It is really nice and I am coming in at a good time and a good moment. "Coming away with these players and being able to show my quality and learn from them is really good for me."
