Arteta with Nwaneri

Nwaneri reveals what he wants from Martinelli and discusses stepping into the first team

Ethan Nwaneri, the teenage sensation at Arsenal, continues to make headlines as he steadily rises through the ranks at the club. At just 15, he made history by debuting in the senior team, a testament to his immense talent and potential. Now, as he continues his development, the young midfielder is proving why Mikel Arteta sees him as a future star.

Arteta has been careful not to burden Nwaneri with too much responsibility too early. Instead, the Arsenal boss is nurturing his talent, gradually integrating him into the first team. Every opportunity Nwaneri gets on the pitch is met with excitement from fans, who are eager to see more of the promising youngster.

In a recent interview with Arsenal Media, Nwaneri shared insights into his life at the club, his development journey, and his admiration for his teammates. When asked about aspects of his teammates’ skills that he admired, he highlighted Gabriel Martinelli’s speed, saying:

“I’d take Martinelli’s speed. I’d be fake with that.”

The lighthearted comment reflects Nwaneri’s grounded nature while also acknowledging the qualities of Arsenal’s established stars that inspire him.

Speaking about the challenges of stepping into the senior team as a teenager, he admitted:

“Yeah, I think it is hard, but you get used to it quick. At the end of the day, it’s good.”

This confidence and adaptability bode well for his future. Though the jump from youth football to senior-level competition is significant, Nwaneri appears unfazed, embracing the challenge with a maturity beyond his years.

The Arsenal academy product’s ability to perform under pressure, combined with Arteta’s careful management, suggests a bright future ahead. With consistent hard work and opportunities, Nwaneri could soon become a regular in Arsenal’s first team, following in the footsteps of other homegrown talents who have excelled at the Emirates, some even see him as an ideal replacement for Martin Odegaard.

Arsenal fans will undoubtedly continue to watch his progress eagerly, confident that Nwaneri is destined to be one of the club’s next big stars.

  1. I think Nwaneri also wants Martinelli to try looking up when with the ball and not plant his eyes on the ground so he can see what is happening right in front of him.
    And I believe Nwaneri would like to play and be created excuses for when he underperforms like some other stars.
