Ethan Nwaneri Signs Long-Term Contract with Arsenal
Ethan Nwaneri, a promising young talent at Arsenal, has secured a new long-term contract with the club that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until at least 2029. This signing comes shortly after another teenager, Myles Lewis-Skelly, also committed his future to the Gunners.
Breakout Season Performance
Nwaneri has made a significant impact during his breakout season, contributing nine goals and providing two assists in 37 matches across all competitions during the past year.
Player Reflections
In reflecting on his new contract, Nwaneri expressed his deep gratitude and excitement, stating:
“This signing means everything to me. It feels like I’m embarking on my first true season in senior football, and I can’t wait to be an integral part of the team in the locker room.”
He added:
“I’m eager to contribute and help us achieve as much as possible, bringing joy and success to the club that feels like home.”
Early Career and Achievements
Having joined Arsenal at the tender age of eight, Nwaneri has advanced through the youth ranks. He made headlines last year by becoming the youngest player in Premier League history when he debuted as a substitute against Brentford, just 15 years and 181 days old.
Additionally, his talents have earned him a place in England’s national youth setup, where he has played from under-16 to under-21 levels, including a commendable role in the team that triumphed at the U21 European Championship in Slovakia this past year.
