While reflecting on Nwaneri’s impressive debut in the Premier League, Arteta emphasised that this decision was strategic, showcasing the club’s trust in him rather than being a mere token gesture.
Mikel Arteta, in his press conference ahead of the clash with Newcastle, expressed his delight in having such a rare talent within his ranks.
“It is rare to see a talent like this at 17 years old; that’s true. But when we gave him his debut in the Premier League, there was a lot of talk about it, but we didn’t do it because he was a gift; we did it because we knew the pathway that we wanted to build with him, and we wanted to send him a really strong sign about how much we trust him and how much we wanted him to stay with us. We are delighted to have him.”
“I can talk about how good he is right now. At 17 years old, to be in a position like he is in at one of the biggest clubs in Europe, I think sums up really well the level that he has. What is going to happen in the future is mainly going to depend on him and how much he wants it.
At the moment he wants it a lot and he’s surrounded by the right people, and then you will need a crystal ball to see where he is going to be in a year, two years, or three years. My prediction is going to be very positive,” he said.
Recently, Nwaneri secured his second start of the season during Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Preston North End, earning the Player of the Match accolade and scoring a goal.
With three goals in two Carabao Cup appearances this season, the excitement surrounding Ethan Nwaneri continues to grow.
