Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says that now is the time for teenage midfielder Ethan Nwaneri "to see if he can fly".

The 17-year-old scored a superb goal in the 3-0 win over Preston in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

That followed his first senior goals in a 5-1 win over Bolton in the previous round.

Nwaneri has been surrounded by hype since he became the youngest player to feature in the Premier League in September 2022, when he came on as a substitute against Brentford at the age of 15 years and 181 days.
