Mikel Arteta has once again called for patience in the development of Arsenal’s young sensation, Ethan Nwaneri. The 17-year-old made headlines in September 2022 when he became the youngest player to ever feature for both Arsenal and the Premier League, debuting against Brentford. Since then, Nwaneri has continued to impress, scoring a brace in his first start for the club against Bolton last month.
Despite his progress, Nwaneri has only made brief appearances in the Premier League so far. However, his performances have sparked growing demands from fans to see more of him, especially with the absence of Martin Odegaard. Arsenal have been missing the creative spark that their captain provides, and some believe Nwaneri could help fill the void.
