Arsenal will reportedly recall Eddie Nketiah from his season-long loan at Leeds United in January.
That’s according to Football Insider, who claim that sources from Elland Road expect the Gunners to exercise a clause allowing them to bring the youngster back to the Emirates.
Leeds are also already looking at alternative forwards for the second half of the season.
Nketiah has scored five times in 430 minutes of first-team action under Marcelo Bielsa, helping the Whites to second in the Championship.
The youngster is yet to start a Championship encounter in Yorkshire however and has been out of action in recent weeks through injury.

There’s no surprise to hear that the Gunners are set to recall the 20-year-old, and it looks as if it is the correct decision.
His only appearances from the off have come in the Carabao Cup and Arsenal would’ve been hoping by now that he had multiple second-tier starts under his belt.
The Gunners may well decide to keep Nketiah in and around the first-team setup in north London, depending on who is in charge.
They could also look to offload the striker on loan once again, with Leeds’ Championship rivals Bristol City desperate to secure Nketiah’s services.
