'It was a given he was leaving': Top source shares what's next for Ethan Nwaneri at Arsenal

Ethan Nwaneri became the youngest player to feature in the Premier League last season, making an appearance against Brentford aged 15 years and 181 days.

This was followed by a prolonged contract saga which finally ended with the midfielder signing a scholarship deal with the Gunners in July.

Now Charles Watts reports on his future: “Arsenal have big plans for him, they really rate him, Mikel Arteta really rates him. They fought really hard to keep him because, for a long time, it was pretty much a given that he was leaving.

“Loads of agents I spoke to were absolutely convinced he was gone and he was going to sign for either Manchester City or Chelsea, but Arsenal managed to change his thinking.”
