Ethan Nwaneri is arguably Arsenal’s most talented young player.
The Gunners have a terrific academy filled with several exceptional young talents. The future really does look bright for the Premier League runners-up.
Mikel Arteta has taken 12 academy players to the United States for Arsenal’s pre-season tour, and there are many you should be keeping an eye on.
The most impressive youngster so far has to be Nwaneri, who has blown everyone away with his performances in midfield.
What Arsenal insiders think will happen with Ethan Nwaneri next season
Nwaneri has been a star in Arsenal’s pre-season so far.
The 17-year-old started against both Bournemouth and Manchester United and was brilliant. He is getting better and better and looks completely at home against senior pros.
Arsenal fans are desperate to see more of Nwaneri and the youngster is expected to get another opportunity against Liverpool late on Wednesday night.
That, however, won’t be the end.
The Daily Mail have revealed that many people at Arsenal ‘believe this could well be Nwaneri’s real breakthrough season’ at the top level.
It has been claimed that Arteta sees real potential in the 17-year-old, who ha shown maturity beyond his years in the pre-season so far.
Numerous reports have claimed that Arteta will promote Nwaneri to the Arsenal first-team for the 2024/25 season.
The teenager is unlikely to be a regular starter, but with Emile Smith Rowe close to leaving, Nwaneri could be his replacement.

Three other Arsenal youngsters impressing in pre-season
Nwaneri has well and truly stolen the show in Arsenal’s USA tour so far, but he isn’t the only one who has impressed.

With David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale both unavailable, Karl Hein has had to step up and he has been outstanding in both games so far.
Young Myles Lewis-Skelly has done really well too having played as an inverted full-back despite naturally being a defensive midfielder.
Ayden Heaven is another player who has been really impressive, and his performance after making a mistake against Manchester United showed incredible character and personality.
Arsenal’s future is really bright, and we’re sure fans are excited to see what these youngsters can deliver in the coming years.
