Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri commits future to club with new deal

Ethan Nwaneri has reportedly committed his future to Arsenal, with the 16-year-old having attracted interest from Manchester City and Chelsea. 

The teenage midfielder has, according to The Athletic, agreed professional terms with the Gunners that will be signed when he turns 17 in March 2024.

Last September, Nwaneri, aged just 15, became the youngest player in Premier League history when he came on as a substitute in Arsenal's win over Brentford.

The midfielder, who has been an Arsenal supporter since he was a boy having grown up in Islington, had reportedly attracted interest from Chelsea and City— two clubs renowned as the highest payers when it comes to academy players.

However, despite strong admiration from other clubs, the Athletic claim Nwaneri never had any intention of leaving.

Nwaneri is regarded as one of the country's most promising talents, having made his under-18s debut for Arsenal at just 14.
