Arsenal is poised to make a formal offer for a new five-year contract to secure the future of highly-rated teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri.
The move aims to ward off interest from rivals like Chelsea, who have been monitoring the 18-year-old winger’s situation.
Nwaneri, who joined Arsenal at age eight, is considered a key part of the club’s long-term plans.
Having become the Premier League’s youngest-ever debutant at 15 in 2022, he enjoyed a successful 2024-25 season, scoring nine goals in his first full senior campaign.
The Gunners are keen to finalize the deal quickly to ensure Nwaneri’s continued rapid development at the Emirates.
