Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is set to give a lot more game time to one of the club’s finest young talents next season.

The Gunners came ever so close to pipping Manchester City to the Premier League title in the 2023/24 campaign. They finished just two points short in the end.

The focus now is on summer transfers ahead of the start of the new season, but Arteta may have a special plan for one hugely talented young player at Arsenal.

Ethan Nwaneri set to get more first-team opportunities at Arsenal
Ethan Nwaneri is one of the best young players in the country.

The 17-year-old Englishman made history by becoming the youngest player ever to make an appearance in the Premier League during the 2022/23 season.

He made one appearance in the recently concluded campaign as well – an impressive cameo against West Ham United in a game Arsenal won 6-0.

Nwaneri has been making great strides at Arsenal. He has been brilliant for the youth sides and is often spotted in first-team training sessions under Arteta.

The Arsenal boss is now set to help take Nwaneri’s game to the next level.

The Athletic reveal that the 17-year-old is expected to get more opportunities with the first team in the 2024/25 season.

He may not be a regular, but he could find himself on the pitch on several occasions. That would be magnificent for the youngster.
