Manchester City is pushing to poach Ethan Nwaneri from Arsenal after his history-making appearance for the club.
Mikel Arteta made him the youngest appearance maker for Arsenal last year and he has continued to make progress in their U18 side.
He is considered a prospect that will eventually break into the first team like Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka have done and the youngster is a wanted man.
City is assembling a solid youth team and has been successful recently. They want to add Nwaneri to their books even though he plays for a top club like Arsenal.
Football Insider reveals that the Premier League defending champions are pushing for Nwaneri and making Arsenal work extra hard to ensure they keep hold of the teenage star.

It would be embarrassing if we lose Nwaneri, having placed him in the spotlight and we have to work hard to secure his future.
The youngster is a superb talent and City’s interest confirms this as they will not try to sign a youngster who is not exceptional.
However, we must do all we can to ensure we keep Nwaneri at the Emirates no matter what happens.

After playing Etham Nwaneri at that tender age, the gaffer has written the narrative in giving youngsters a chance.
Now he must find away to blend them into the senior team seamlessly on a more consistent basis.
Gunsmoke, how good is he ? I’ve only seen him when Arteta brought him on so late in a game that I don’t think he even touched the ball. He’s supposed to be highly rated, but when will he ever be able to get into the first team. I guess Saka was in the same position at one time.
Honestly, just like you, haven’t hear gun fire from the kid since that historic day.
Had a feeling the gaffer was aware of the stats.
