Ethan Nwaneri, an 18-year-old midfielder from Islington, north London, has signed a new 5-year contract to continue his career at Arsenal. Nwaneri, who was born less than two miles from the Emirates Stadium, has been with the club since joining their academy at just 5 years old.
In September 2022, Nwaneri made his debut for the Arsenal first team, becoming the youngest player to ever represent the Gunners at just 15 years old. His impressive performances last season, which included scoring 9 goals and providing 2 assists, have cemented his status as one of the club's brightest young prospects.

The new 5-year deal will keep the talented midfielder in north London until at least 2030, ensuring Arsenal can continue to build their team around this local homegrown talent.
