Arteta praises Arsenal star
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has singled out exciting youngster Ethan Nwaneri for praise, hailing his attitude and application in training.
Nwaneri, 15, became the youngest player in Premier League history when he made his debut for Arsenal against Brentford in September.
The midfielder has since made two more appearances for the Gunners, and Arteta has been impressed with what he has seen from the teenager.
What Arteta said about Nwaneri
“He's a very exciting player,” Arteta said of Nwaneri.
“He's got a lot of talent, he's very intelligent, and he's very mature for his age.”
“He's got a great attitude and he's always willing to learn.”
Nwaneri's future at Arsenal
Nwaneri is still eligible to play for Arsenal's academy sides, but Arteta has hinted that he could be involved in the first team more regularly in the future.
“He's still very young, but he's already shown that he can play at this level,” Arteta said.
“We're going to be patient with him, but we're also excited about what he can bring to the team.”
What the experts are saying about Nwaneri
Nwaneri's performances for Arsenal have caught the attention of experts, who believe he has the potential to become a top player.
“He's a special talent,” said former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.
“He's got everything you need to be a successful player.”
“He's got the skill, the intelligence, and the attitude,” added former Arsenal defender Martin Keown.
“He's a player that Arsenal fans should be very excited about.”
