Arsenal director Mikel Arteta has distinguished the exciting Wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri for praise -ahead of the next Gunners game against West Ham.
Or This season, playing more football in the first team than many would have to wait, considering that he is still only 17 years old.
Nwaneri has now managed seven goals and 24 appearances for the Arteta side this season, and the Spanish tactic spoke brilliantly about him ahead of the West Ham game.
After being so impressive in the 2-0 victory at Leicester City last weekend, an imagine that Nwaneri will surely start in Arsenal again at Emirates Stadium for West Ham’s visit.
The injuries to those of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli have probably meant that Nwaneri’s rise in the initial 11th has had to be deepened, but Arteta is really satisfied with the way the teenager took the opportunity to prove how good it is.
Mikel Arteta surprised by the fast progress of Ethan Nwaneri
Speaking at his press conference before Hammers’ game, Arteta that Nwaneri’s progress had been “probably much faster than we expected.”
He added: “What is surprising is his confidence and decision -making, especially in the possession of balls.
“And the risks it has, and the care you have about what the situation is. I love a player and now he has to constantly do it every three days.
“A player with this talent, we want it far from this mode of thought: let it express it, put it in that environment where you can exploit your qualities as often as you can, surrounded by players that adapt to the their qualities.
“There are certain duties in a collective sport that you must be able to do … but then you must have the freedom to express your creativity.”
Both Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly have been excellent for arsenal This season, with our columnist Charles Watts stating that they are probably worth 100 million combined pounds.
