Ethan Nwaneri, the youngest player in Premier league history hailing from Nigeria, is poised to ink his inaugural professional contract with Arsenal next week. He made his mark at just 15 years and 181 days old, surpassing Harvey Elliott’s record, during Arsenal’s victory against Brentford in September 2022. Although he didn’t feature much last season, his talent shone in youth competitions and during a senior match against West Ham United. Despite interest from other clubs, Arsenal secured him with a scholarship until 2025. Now 17, Nwaneri is eligible to formalize his duty. The midfielder seems committed to Arsenal for the next few years, with talks of a potential extended contract in the pipeline. Nwaneri’s prowess is evident, notably highlighted by his impressive goal-scoring feats in youth competition and Premier League 2 games.
