Ethan Nwaneri: Arsenal Battling Chelsea and Man City for Control of Record-Breaking Wonderkid
Posted : 16 April 2023
Nwaneri, 16, who is the youngest player in Premier League history, may depart the Gunners this summer as elite teams compete for his skills.
Ethan Nwaneri entered the history of the Premier League when he entered the field against Brentford earlier in the season to play for the final three minutes of Arsenal's 3-0 victory.
"The first time I met him, I looked into his eyes and I had that feeling. I really liked what I saw," Arteta explained, when asked why he had decided to give such a young player a league debut.
“Per Mertesacker [Arsenal’s academy manager] and the staff are giving me really good information, Edu [Arsenal’s sporting director] as well."
Nwaneri replaced Fabio Vieira in the final minutes of the London derby at the age of just 15 years and 181 days, the youngest player to ever appear in an English top-flight match.
In a flash, the midfielder moved from being an anonymous teenager to making Premier League history.
