The future of young midfielder Ethan Nwaneri is also a concern for Arsenal. After making his Premier League debut in September at the age of 16, the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United have expressed interest in signing the young starlet. Arsenal are keeping its fingers crossed that they can persuade Nwaneri to stay, and they have been in discussion with him.
Despite these shifts, players from Arsenal’s youth system have been making waves on the international scene. At the European Under-17 Championship, Nwaneri scored the game-winning goal for England against Croatia, while his Arsenal teammate Myles Lewis-Skelly helped England beat the Netherlands. The 16-year-old Lewis-Skelly has committed to remaining at Arsenal.
Ethan Nwaneri is tagged as another academy star pursuing his future away from Arsenal – with reports that Manchester City being preferred destination by his father while he personally views Arsenal’s London-rivals Chelsea as potential destination. Chelsea also signed Omari Hutchinson from Hale End last summer, although his move away has not gone as well as he would have preferred – showing life away from Arsenal is not as bloomy as these young faces think.

Arsenal hope to keep Ethan Nwaneri, though if he goes… it wouldn’t be an end of it. I’d rather want to keep players who want to represent the badge with all they have rather…
