“He is brave,” Arteta said onBBC Match of the Day. “You see the reaction of fans, and they were singing ‘he is one of our own.’ We have to put brick-by-brick and make sure the cement does not get dry. Hopefully, we can build a beautiful thing with him.”

While Ethan thrives in the first team, his younger brother Emerson is carving his path at Arsenal’s Hale End academy. Born in 2010, Emerson is part of the U15 squad and has already impressed with his passing and dribbling abilities, according to Arsenal academy expert Jeorge Bird.
Recently, Emerson was selected for England’s U15 Talent ID Camp, alongside Arsenal goalkeeper Charlie Phillips. This achievement has drawn attention to the younger Nwaneri, with fans eager to see if he can follow in his brother’s footsteps.
