In the summer of 2024, Manchester United were on a raid at Arsenal. Chido Obi-Martin was the U18 Premier League’s top scorer for Arsenal as a 16-year-old. Mikel Arteta wanted the Danish striker to move on, but Arsenal could not offer wages and development opportunities like Manchester United. The teenager chose United, and not many months later he made his first-team debut at Amorim. Now Arsenal have learned.
Ethan Nwaneri earned solid playing time in 37 games last season, while the 18-year-old responded to the confidence with 9 goals.

The breakthrough of the right winger obviously made several clubs turn their attention to the teenager, but on Friday Arsenal showed that they have worked well over the past six months. Ethan Nwaneri isn’t going anywhere.
Gunners confirm long-term contract has been signed (talking about a five-year contract), with renewed status and salary terms, Nwaneri and Arsenal should avoid interference from the suitors.

“Signing this contract means everything to me. I see this as my first proper season in senior football, where I am part of the squad in the dressing room. I am very much looking forward to contributing to the team and I want to help us win as much as possible and bring joy and success to the club. This is where I feel at home, says the great talent to the club’s website.
Congratulations!
