Ethan Nwaneri, Arsenal's 17-year-old wonderkid, has gained significant attention for his performances, especially with prominent players injured. With Bukayo Saka sidelined, Nwaneri is expected to start against West Ham and has earned comparisons to past Arsenal greats from Arsene Wenger. Wenger noted Nwaneri's impressive qualities as a creator and his mental strength, comparing him favorably to Cesc Fabregas. Former players like Rio Ferdinand also acknowledge Nwaneri's potential, indicating he could have contributed even earlier this season as Arsenal aims high in their league ambitions.
Nwaneri is more a creator of the final ball through his dribbling and the quality of his passes. It’s difficult for me to think that he's 17 years old.
Wenger’s praise reflects Nwaneri’s exceptional maturity on the pitch which suggests he could be a pivotal player for Arsenal this season despite his age.
