Ethan Nwaneri signs new long-term contract with Arsenal
Arsenal’s young prodigy, Ethan Nwaneri, has secured his future at the club by signing a new long-term contract, which will keep him at the Emirates until at least 2029. This news represents a significant endorsement of the emerging talent within the team’s ranks.
Nwaneri follows in the footsteps of his teenage teammate Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has also committed his future to Arsenal. This continuity in the youth squad is a clear indication of the club’s strategy to develop and retain its young prospects.
Last season, Nwaneri proved his worth with a standout debut season, where the versatile midfielder scored nine goals and provided two assists in 37 appearances across all competitions. His performance has been key to capturing the attention of fans and solidifying his position in the team.
- The young footballer joined Arsenal at the age of eight, progressing through the youth categories alongside Lewis-Skelly.
- At just 14 years old, he was already playing for the under-18 team.
- In September 2022, Nwaneri made history by becoming the youngest player to debut in the Premier League, coming on as a substitute against Brentford at the age of 15 years and 181 days.
In addition to his club success, Nwaneri has represented England at various youth levels, from under-16 to under-21. He was a member of the team that won the European Under-21 Championship in Slovakia this year.
