In addition to Arsenal’s four senior call-ups for England in September, the Gunners will also have five players involved across the various youth teams, from the u17s to the u21s.
Ethan Nwaneri has been named in the England u21s, who are kicking off their u21 European Championship qualifying campaign with an away game against Kazakhstan on Monday, September 8th.
Tommy Setford is in the England u20 group, who will face Italy in a friendly match on Friday, September 5th.

Jack Porter and Max Dowman have both been promoted to the England u19s for the September break, having previously featured in the younger age groups internationally. They’ll play a selection of friendly fixtures against Ukraine, Spain, and the Netherlands.
Finally, Josiah King has been called up by the England u17s for their 2026 u17 European Championship qualifiers against Venezuela, Israel, and Germany.
Marli Salmon is unlucky not to be involved in next month’s internationals, having picked up an injury in last week’s u21 match with Arsenal.
The Gunners don’t have any players in the England u18s, though that might change if they can complete a late deal for Igor Tyjon of Blackburn Rovers. Tyjon has been called up by the u18s, with Arsenal lodging two unsuccessful bids to sign the youth striker so far this summer.
