The Gunners had a terrible end to 2023 and just as poor a start to 2024. They’ve won just one of their last seven games in all competitions, and things need to change. A good break in Dubai should help Arsenal, and it must have been a great experience for young Nwaneri too.
Declan Rice calls Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri his ‘lil bro’ after training with him
Arsenal’s academy has been producing some of the country’s finest talents in recent years.
Bukayo Saka is the standout example. The young Englishman has been unbelievable over the last few seasons and he is now one of the best players in the Premier League.
There are many more young talents coming through the ranks at Hale End, and young Ethan Nwaneri is arguably the most exciting one of them all.
The 16-year-old became the youngest player to make a Premier League appearance in the history of the competition last season, and he has a massive future ahead of him.
He has often trained with the first team and was called up by Mikel Arteta for the trip to Dubai as well, where he trained alongside stars like Declan Rice.

Nwaneri will be a star for Arsenal
Ethan Nwaneri is arguably Arsenal’s brightest young talent at the moment.
The midfielder, who is still just 16 years old, has been playing well beyond his years. He is a star already at academy level, and it’s only a matter of time before he gets regular opportunities in the first team.Declan Rice sends two-word message to 16-year-old Arsenal talent after training with him in Dubai
It’s a shame that Arsenal have been knocked out of both, the FA Cup and the League Cup this season. That makes it difficult for Mikel Arteta to give opportunities to youngsters like Nwaneri in the next few months.
However, if the Gunners batter Porto in the first-leg of their Champions League clash, the Arsenal boss may just give Nwaneri a go in the return leg.
Either way, there is a big chance 2024 will be his breakthrough year.
