Edward Keddar Nketiah (born 30 May 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Crystal Palace and the England national team.

[14] Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa described Nketiah upon signing as a "young, important player in English football".

[17] After scoring his fourth goal of the season in Leeds' 2–0 win against Barnsley on 15 September 2019, Bielsa described Nketiah as a "complete player".

[21] Nketiah also started the next match on 1 January 2020, in what would prove to be his final appearance for Leeds away to West Bromwich Albion in a 1–1 draw.

[25] Nketiah made his first Premier League start at home to Newcastle United, before scoring in the next match against Everton, sliding a volley into the corner.

[26][27] He became a regular in Arsenal's return to league play after the hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, starting in the team's 3–0 loss away to Manchester City, being replaced in the 67th minute by Alexandre Lacazette.

[29] Two weeks later, Nketiah lifted his first major trophy of his career with Arsenal, coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute in the 2–1 victory over Chelsea in the 2020 FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium.

[30] On 28 August 2020, Nketiah was in the starting line-up in the 2020 FA Community Shield at Wembley Stadium, where Arsenal beat Liverpool 5–4 in a penalty shoot-out after the match finished 1–1.

[citation needed] He scored in Arsenal's EFL Cup third and fourth round wins against AFC Wimbledon[37] and Leeds United, respectively.

[39] Following Aubameyang's departure in February,[40] He was given a regular place in the starting line-up towards the end of the season, and scored five goals in Arsenal's last seven Premier League matches.

[44] Despite Alexandre Lacazette leaving the club,[45] Nketiah found himself back on the substitutes' bench following the signing of Gabriel Jesus.

[49] He got a lengthy run in the team when Gabriel Jesus was ruled out for a few months after picking up a knee injury in Brazil's 2022 FIFA World Cup game against Cameroon.

[50] On 26 December, he made his first Premier League start of the season when the competition resumed following the World Cup, scoring in Arsenal's 3–1 win against West Ham.

[57] On 12 December, Nketiah made his first Champions League start against PSV Eindhoven, scoring his first goal of the competition as Arsenal left the Philips Stadion with a 1–1 draw.

[72] Nketiah went on to break that record with the second goal of a 2–1 win over Turkey at Molineux Stadium on 13 October 2020; a victory that secured England's place at the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

[75] On 13 January 2023, Nketiah was belatedly recognised for his achievement in becoming England U21s' record goal scorer with the presentation of a commemorative golden boot by his former coach and The FA representative Michael Johnson.
