The North London side are still confident though. The youngster’s camp has reportedly received confirmation that he is going to be a key part of the future of the club. Talks are developing between the two parties. However, the issue is that Nwaneri’s camp is driving for more clarification. They want guaranteed game time not just for this season but also beyond this season.
Interest Grows as Arsenal Looks at New Midfield Options
Arsenal has made a huge play for new attacking midfielders in the transfer market. This includes several high-profile names like Eberechi Eze, Rodrygo Goes, and Noni Madueke. So whether Ethan could always get minutes for his own growth is the main question.
Mikel Arteta holds Nwaneri in high regard, but also as part of his plans. While the interest from Chelsea seems to be fading. Although, both Liverpool and Manchester City are seemingly keeping a close eye on Nwaneri. They want to be ready in case an opportunity arises where they could move in.
Although the interest seems credible, sources close to the player insist that he wants to stay with Arsenal. The next few weeks are going to be key for Arsenal. They will do everything in their power to keep one of England’s best young talents. They will have to act fast before one or two of the other clubs come calling with genuine offers.
