Mikel Arteta lumps praise on 'unique' Ethan Nwaneri, likening the 16-year-old prodigy to Jack Wilshere... as several young Arsenal stars are in contention to feature in their Champions League clash against PSV

Arsenal's young guns are in contention for a run out against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday with the club having sealed top spot in their Champions League group.

The Gunners have teenagers Ethan Nwaneri, Reuell Walters and Lino Sousa in their squad and Mikel Arteta singled out Nwaneri, 16, for high praise, comparing the attacking midfielder to Jack Wilshere.

Nwaneri became the Premier League’s youngest player in September 2022 when he came off the bench in a 3-0 victory over Brentford aged 15, but has not played for the first team since.
