Arsenal wonderkid signs new long-term contract

Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri has ended speculation over his future by penning a new long-term contract.

The Englishman made his major breakthrough for the Gunners last campaign, registering 37 appearances in all competitions.

Nwaneri netted nine goals alongside two assists, and he has now committed his long-term future to the north London giants.

The likes of Chelsea and Manchester City were keeping tabs on him, but Nwaneri had no qualms of staying at Arsenal.

He told the club's official website: "Signing this contract means everything to me. I see this as my first real season in men’s senior football, as part of the squad in the changing room."

Nwaneri is regarded as one of the best graduates to come out of the Arsenal academy. He made a huge impression during the 2024/25 campaign.

He was primarily used from the right wing by manager Mikel Arteta. He benefited from Bukayo Saka's long-term absence with a hamstring issue.

Nwaneri is likely to play in an attacking midfield role this campaign.
