Arsenal set to reward rising star Nwaneri with new deal
Arsenal are planning to offer Ethan Nwaneri a new five-year contract, a move that highlights the club’s belief in his abilities (h/t MailSport).
The 18-year-old has scored eight goals in 29 appearances this season. He has helped to soften the blow of Bukayo Saka’s injury.
Although he still has room to grow, he has shown that he can reduce Saka’s workload when he returns to action.
Nwaneri made history when he made his league during the 2022/23 season. At just 15 years and 181 days, he became the youngest player ever to feature in a Premier League match.
The record-breaking moment occurred on September 18, 2022, when he made a substitute appearance against Brentford.
Securing Nwaneri’s future is not only a smart move for Arsenal but also a statement of their commitment to young talent.
Securing Nwaneri’s future is a smart move by Arsenal
Arsenal are making a wise decision by locking down Nwaneri’s long-term future. His continued development could secure the right-wing position for years to come.
With Nwaneri in the squad, the Gunners can focus on reinforcing other areas rather than looking for another right winger.
Hale End products such as Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly rise up the ranks reflects Arsenal’s trust in their youth system.
Nwaneri’s versatility could benefit manager Mikel Arteta’s tactics.
He can operate as both a central midfielder and a winger, using his vision and ball-striking ability to exploit pockets of space.
Arsenal had to fend off interest from Chelsea and Manchester City for Nwaneri, further proving his potential.
