Arsenal’s latest emerging talent, Ethan Nwaneri, has the potential to make as big an impact on the team as Bukayo Saka has.

The Gunners recognise this and are keen to ensure he remains at the club for the foreseeable future.

Nwaneri shares the ambition to become an Arsenal star, which is why he recently signed a professional contract with the club.

His integration into the first team has been carefully managed, as Arsenal aims to avoid placing too much pressure on him too soon.

As they gradually prepare him for a more prominent role, other clubs are taking notice of the young talent, with Inter Milan among those expressing interest.

The Italian champions are actively seeking top young prospects across Europe and are willing to offer them a quicker path to first-team football.

According to Inter Live, Nwaneri has caught their eye in recent weeks, and they may consider testing Arsenal’s resolve.

However, they also acknowledge that securing his signature would be a challenging task.

Just Arsenal Opinion

It is unthinkable that we can allow Nwaneri to leave us any time soon, so Inter should not bother wasting their time.

  1. ” The Italian champions are actively seeking top young prospects across Europe and are willing to offer them a quicker path to first-team football”.
    I watched their game last night and I did not see any younger than 24 and still Mkhitaryan at 35 played nearly the whole game.
    Nwaneri will have better chances with us.

  2. With our list of injuries we should be giving minutes to some of these promising youngsters.

    I’m not saying starting matches or appearing in 3 of 4 games, but certainly getting sub minutes in some games.

    Our creativity is withering on the vine, and Nwanarei could offer something in the second half of games.

    15-20 min sub appearances to build him up, acclimate him to the league, so he can contribute more in the 2nd half of the season.

    Unless the plan is to play Odegaard every minute of every match upon his return. Nwanarei is a fantastic talent, and if not getting minutes during our injury crisis, then when?

    1. I agree Durand.

      I seem to recall a few years back when Marcus Rashford wasn’t a household name and ManU were down to the bare bones, he got his premier league debut against Arsenal, and boy did he take it, scoring 2 goals.

      I don’t advocate over pressurising young players on the cusp of becoming first team members, but at some point the trust what is going on in training has to be tested and Arteta should take the plunge. I think you are absolutely right to use the last quarter of a match to integrate them, rather than in the 89th minute which is no use at all.

        I think many others have the same feelings, and if we don’t use them now then when?

        Arteta has done well with so many players, but his record with the youth has been very poor. ESR had injury concerns, but even when fit Arteta did not really include him in his plans, in spite of pretty solid contributions on the pitch.

        Nwaneri and MLS both seem like very promising players, but there is hesitation in giving them minutes, and to me at least it is concerning.

        There have been and will be opportunities in games for them to get minutes,

        Will Arteta choose to give Zinchenko sub minutes or test MLS at LB late in games we are leading?

        Will Arteta select Jorghino late in games or Nwaneri? Is Arteta preserving a 2-0 lead with Jorghino, or trusting Nwaneri in that game?

        Wenger trusted his young players, and I don’t think Arteta does quite frankly. Wenger was attack minded and trusted players to express themselves, while Arteta plays not to lose a game, rather than trusting his players to express themselves.

        1. SueP
          Forgot to add training only shows you so much; real games can’t be simulated on the training pitch. At some point you have to take a leap of faith, and some times you have to go through mistakes and that learning process to mold a PL caliber player.

          1. Leap of faith. Spot on and as things stand now or shortly (maybe after Sunday ) is time to take that leap.

  3. Ethan should go where he is played before Arteta ruins him like he has done so many of our youths. Martinelli was benched by Willian. lol, ESR never saw the light of day,, Obi, Cozie Duberry, Hutchinson, Patino, Balogun, and Mark Beireth, etc. have all been mismanaged. Saliba was loaned even when he was capable of doing a shift. Guendouzi looks better than Merino.
    I won’t be surprised if indeed we buy another goalkeeper and defender in the January transfer window. Arteta better improve on his flaws, or else we will become a failed project.

  4. Nwaneri is certainly a great prospect (although nowhere near Yamal at Barcelona, as some comparisons have been made, even though they are of similar age).

    There was talk a while ago of Arsenal offering young Nwaneri a new contract at a reported £60k a week. I suspect that they’ll probably wait a while to do that.

    What Nwaneri really needs, as others have said, is game time. Can he reproduce his form over an extended length of time, not just ten or twenty minutes here and there, as has been the case? What we’ve had so far are snapshots of his talent – I think what we need across the season is nearer to a movie.

      1. If you’re referring to any comparisons made with Yamal, the fact that Nwaneri certainly isn’t a regular starter for Arsenal, yet Yamal has been playing for Barcelona for a season or so – including yesterday in the CL- should tell us something.

        I think our lad deserves more game-time as I said previously, but evidently that’s not quite Arteta’s view – currently, anyway.
