Arsenal are closing in on a new long-term contract for wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri to reward his continued rapid rise.
Mail Sport understands that the proposed deal is up to five years in length.
The attacker, who is one of Arsenal’s most promising prospects, has scored eight goals in 29 appearances this season as he’s stepped up on the right wing to fill a gap left by Bukayo Saka’s hamstring injury.
Nwaneri previously signed his first professional contract with the Gunners last year aged 17 — the youngest eligible age to sign such terms — which is three years in length.
