Last summer, the Arsenal first-team squad were asked which young player they thought will have a breakthrough season.
Myles Lewis-Skelly’s name arose in the mix, but Ethan Nwaneri was their unanimous answer. The recent weeks have showcased why those around the camp have anticipated the rise of a 17-year-old wonderkid who has slotted into the starting XI with ease — and, potentially, solved Mikel Arteta’s right wing puzzle.
Thus far this season, Nwaneri has made his first Premier League and Champions League starts, shone in the Carabao Cup, while scoring across all three competitions.
