The 20-year-old was the first player born after Arsene Wenger&#8217;s appointment to score for Arsenal. He is lightning fast, has a real appetite for getting into goalscoring positions and has attacking instincts which belie his years. That said, before he can match the output seen from the likes of Aubameyang, as well as Pepe in Ligue 1 last season, you get the feeling he may just need one more lesson from a real footballing master.<\/p>\n<p>So, who better to take Nketiah under his wing than the one and only Marcelo Bielsa? Pep Guardiola famously labelled the Argentine as the &#8220;best coach in the world&#8221;, while stories from Mauricio Pochettino illustrate just how fiercely committed he is to squeezing every drop of potential out of young talent.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it isn&#8217;t just Pochettino who Bielsa had a huge hand in forging into a top-class professional footballer. Time and time again, players give glowing references of the &#8220;Bielsa effect&#8221;, claiming they simply wouldn&#8217;t be the player they are today without his often obsessive guidance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBielsa is also offensive but in a different way. Bielsa is maybe the most brilliant mind \u2013 the way he sees football, the way he studies the opponent,\u201d Ander Herrera told<a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2016\/05\/19\/fa-cup-final-2016-we-are-manchester-united-and-we-have-to-fight\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> the Telegraph<\/a> in 2016. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s Barcelona or Getafe. He is the most different, the most original.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How will Unai Emery setup Arsenal? | Squawka Tactics\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LgL7-JR-P8Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/sqwk.at\/Squawka-Sub\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And Javi Martinez said of Bielsa&#8217;s time at Athletic Bilbao: \u201cThere are days when he doesn\u2019t leave the training ground until the small hours. It is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And what about Aymeric Laporte? One of the cornerstones of Guardiola&#8217;s all-conquering Manchester City side and quite possibly one of the most complete centre-backs on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout him, I might not be where I am today,\u201d Laporte told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/article\/aymeric-laporte-the-stakes-are-so-high-in-this-game-for-both-teams-znhbv3xgp\">the Times<\/a>. \u201cIt was Bielsa who gave me my first steps in the [Spanish] top flight, and so I owe him a lot. I\u2019m very grateful to him and very aware of exactly what he did for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBielsa\u2019s different in lots of ways, his character, his personality. You only have to talk to him to realise he\u2019s not cut from the usual cloth. But he\u2019s also a really hard worker: he never stops watching matches, he has an extraordinary knowledge of football, he knows everything about the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But how does this translate to turning a would-be Premier League goalscorer into an actual, bonafide goal threat? How can Bielsa help Nketiah translate 46 goals for Arsenal&#8217;s youth teams \u2013 as well as a further 21 for England&#8217;s development sides \u2013 into finding the net on the Premier League stage?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1100573\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/features\/done-deals-may-have-missed-august-8-puncheon\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1100573\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1100573\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/08\/08115720\/done-deals-august-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/08\/08115720\/done-deals-august-8.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/08\/08115720\/done-deals-august-8-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/08\/08115720\/done-deals-august-8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/08\/08115720\/done-deals-august-8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/08\/08115720\/done-deals-august-8-66x37.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/08\/08115720\/done-deals-august-8-620x350.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/08\/08115720\/done-deals-august-8-940x530.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1100573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong><\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/features\/done-deals-may-have-missed-august-8-puncheon\">Major done deals you may have missed during the week up to deadline day<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Well, while his time at Lille was anything but a success, it&#8217;s worth noting that the signing of Pepe for the French side was made under the guidance of Bielsa. 37 goals later, he is now Arsenal&#8217;s most expensive recruit having finished second only to Kylian Mbappe in the Ligue 1 scoring charts last season, netting 22 times.<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s Kemar Roofe, Leeds United&#8217;s 15-goal top scorer last season, despite missing six games through injury. Before Bielsa arrived, Roofe was a clearly talented goalscorer simply lacking the tactical nouse to help direct his energy. By the end of the 2018\/19 season, he was a key component of Bielsa&#8217;s ruthless press, attempting the eighth-highest number of tackles per 90 minutes (1.7) of any forward in the Championship last season among players to make 10 or more appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Roofe&#8217;s form was so impressive that it sealed him a \u00a36.4m transfer to Vincent Kompany&#8217;s Anderlecht, a move which will see him compete in this season&#8217;s Europa League. But he didn&#8217;t leave without first paying homage to Bielsa&#8217;s impact on his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe helped me massively last season,\u201d he told talkSPORT.\u00a0\u201cWithout his style of play and the footballing education he gave to us, I probably wouldn\u2019t be in this position.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New season.
