Fabrizio Romano delivers hugely positive Arsenal update that young star Ethan Nwaneri has agreed to stay put at the Emirates.
Arsenal Tie Down Rising Star Ethan Nwaneri Amid Transfer Buzz
Arsenal will soon be sharing the news about Ethan Nwaneri reportedly signing a new deal with the club.
The update comes through transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. He shares that Nwaneri rejected interest from clubs outside of Arsenal to extend his stay with the Gunners.
Nwaneri is one of the most exciting academy products in recent years. He made his name early in his career by making his debut in the PL at the age of 15. The Arsenal academy graduate took another step forward last season, featuring in 37 games in all competitions. He also scored nine goals during that spell.
He has the ability to play in multiple attacking roles. Nwaneri’s talent gives Mikel Arteta more options heading into the new season. He was mostly used on the right wing due to Bukayo Saka’s injury. But, the England U21 player looks more natural playing through the middle.
The Gunners have put faith in the youngster’s long-term future. They used their ability to sign him amidst interest from other football clubs. Now, it will allow him to develop in North London.
Gunners Bolster Attack with Youth
Nwaneri wasn’t the only young talent to get minutes last season. Myles Lewis-Skelly also had a few opportunities. Arteta’s plan to play young players is clearly paying off. The decision to sign Nwaneri, in thinking of the future could be a huge bonus for his side.
The teenage talent will see more first-team minutes in the near future. His game and creativity will be on show again next season. Fans will no doubt be keeping a close eye on whether Nwaneri can force himself into the senior England squad. With this new deal, the Gunners have set the stage for him to shine on a bigger stage.
