The Athletic reports that Arsenal’s promising teenager, Ethan Nwaneri, has pledged his future to the club.
The 16-year-old player has reportedly signed scholarship forms with Arsenal and has agreed to a professional contract, which will come into effect when he turns 17 in March 2024.
This commitment comes at a crucial time as his schoolboy registration was set to expire on June 30. Arsenal is securing Nwaneri’s talents and ensuring his continued development within the club.
Aged 15 years and 181 days, Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history when he came on against Brentford in September to beat the record held by Harvey Elliott.
The England youth international, who is an Arsenal fan and was raised a short distance from the Emirates Stadium, reportedly turned down more lucrative financial offers from elsewhere to stay at the Gunners, with his desire always to continue his career there.
