Not many 14 year old have the chance of making the step up to the U18s but that is not the case for Ethan Nwaneri who is already making waves at a level higher than his peers.
Nwaneri opened his goal account for the U18 with a long range effort as they cruise to a 6-1 win over Reading in the U18 Premier League yesterday evening. A goal that has further outlined his potentials.
He let fly a left footed shot which nestled in the net few minutes following his introduction for his U18 debut and it has everyone connected to the club talking about the Nigerian.
A midfielder by trade, he has been with Arsenal since the age of 9 but not until the U14 level did his potential became clear for all to see. Amazingly he has often played above his age group.
For instance he has gotten games for the U15 and the U16 this season and many have tipped him as one of the stars expected to light up the U16 before making the step up possibly to the first team.
The one problem for Arsenal is that he won’t be eligible to sign scholarship terms until the summer of 2023 but between now and then he is expected to get lot of games for the U18s.
