5) Eddie Nketiah – Arsenal (-3.4 Goals Compared To Non-Penalty xG)

Nketiah

Remarkably, the 23-year-old is one of two Arsenal strikers in our top five and, while he did earn some plaudits for the way he covered for Gabriel Jesus when the Brazilian was out injured, he wasn’t really clinical in front of goal.

There have been some memorable moments for Nketiah this season, most notably his brace against Manchester United, but he has managed just two other goals in the league.

Manager Mikel Arteta may well consider Folarin Balogun, who has been banging in the goals for Reims out on loan, as a better backup option next campaign.
