“Eddie has different characteristics and in a match like that he is a good option,” he told reporters.

“Nketiah is a striker who scores goals,” he said. “Some players get involved in finishing moves more than creating them. He is a finisher.

“He has good characteristics to combine with his team mates, to play in this side and give more options. He is a complete player.”

The Whites currently sit top of the Championship and host Derby on September 21.
